The name itself is believed to originate from the Old French word ramee, meaning “canopy of leafy branches” or “bouquet.” It is used as a gender-neutral name, although it is slightly more common for boys. Laramie is also associated with the Wyoming city and county that bear the name, adding a Western, adventurous connotation to its meaning.
