Lauren

Latin · “Derived from the Latin Laurentius, meaning "from Laurentum" — a city near Rome whose name was associated with the laurel tree (laurus), itself a symbol of victory and honour in ancient Rome. Lauren emerged as a feminine English form in the 20th century, partly through the influence of actress Lauren Bacall, whose stage name helped popularise it.”

Lyric

“Lyric is an English given name derived from the Greek lyrikos meaning "singing to the lyre," from lyra (lyre).
