About the name Lauretta
Lauretta belongs to the Italian tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Lauretta first appears in Social Security records in 1880. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #352 in 1904, and in 2024 14 babies received the name — 9,699 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
