Meaning:Of spring; The alder tree; Of Laverne, a Roman goddess
The Latin name Laverne is an interesting option for a new parent seeking a gender-neutral name for baby. According to Roman mythology, Laverna was the goddess of thieves, which a parent who's had their heart stolen by their little one can no doubt attest to! More interestingly perhaps, Laverne is also connected to Celtic culture and history via the Gaulish language, where the word "vern" points to the alder tree. In Celtic mythology, the alder tree symbolizes the balance between male and female principles, making this gender-neutral name an eligible fit for baby!
