Laura /lau-ra/ [2 sylls.] as a girls' name is pronounced LAW-rah, LOR-ah. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Laura is the bay, or laurel plant. In classical times, a crown was made from the leaves of the bay laurel for heroes or victors as a symbol of honor and victory.
Laura (played by Sheryl Lee) was her town's favorite daughter; she volunteered at Meals on Wheels, was the high school Homecoming queen, and was (apparently) the darling of her parents, Sarah and Leland. Laura Palmer's photo in the school's trophy case.
