Re: meaning of Lauren and Marie
LAUREN
Lauren is a girl's and boy's name used in English. It comes from the English name "Laura" meaning "the laurel shrub."Extra Information on the name Lauren:
Film director Howard Hawks popularized this form of the name by suggesting it as a stage name for the actress born Betty Jean Perske, thereafter known to the world as Lauren Bacall.MARIE
Marie is a girl's and boy's name used in English, German, French, Czech, and Romanian. It comes from the Hebrew name "Miryam" (in the Bible sister of Moses and Aaron) which means "wished-for child." There is disputed meaning behind the name however and some believe it's roots come from the Egyptian language with lost meaning. Some other alternate interpretations of Miryam from which Marie is derived are that it translates as "rebellion" or "sea of bitterness."The meaning does not change when hyphenating the names seeing as how they still come from the combination of the two names above.
