MEANING & HISTORY
What does Laureto mean?
De Mauro records Italian laureto as a wood of laurel trees and derives it from Latin lauretum. Its citation from Petrarch shows that the word has a literary history independent of modern baby-name descriptions.
This is the exact word reading beside the recorded given name, rather than an assumed diminutive of Lauro or proof of devotion to the Italian shrine of Loreto.
