History and Origin
Name borne in Greek mythology by a nymph who was changed into a laurel by her father, a river god, to enable her to escape the attentions of Apollo, who was pursuing her. The name means ‘laurel’ in Greek. According to the myth, then, the nymph gave her name to the shrub, but in fact of course it was the other way about: her name was taken from the vocabulary word (which seems to be of pre-Greek origin, and may therefore have been thought to need explaining). The name was not used in England until the end of the 19th century, when it seems to have been adopted as part of the vogue for flower names at that time.
