My name is Lauren, and I'm a dancer (most commonly ballerina) so I guess graceful does apply. I read that it means this:
Lauren (origin from Latin) is a prize worth winning, truly a beauty, she is renowned for her grace and charm, stateliness, grandeur and splendour with a clever and inquisitive mind, she is an associate of high esteem, respected and admired by her peers. Positive and up-tempo in all she does, life is fun with her around.

Lauren is latin and it means of the bay and the laurel crowned which the romans gave to the victorious. Lauren means fierce loyal and victory. I am a lauren and I am a rower, I have been told that I am so elegant people don't hear me enter a room which usually freaks them out when I pop up behind them. But be proud to be a lauren because laurens are fierce and I have never met an ugly lauren before.

My name means that you are elegant, smart and loving. Love is always coming your way. My name is lauren and that is what I be live. Also that the name is latin and comes from the united states Pennsylvania state flower!
