'Lauretta' is a popular Christian girl's name in India, especially southern states like Kerala.
The most common meaning associated with this name is the Italian version of Latin word Slayer, viz Demon slayer in Bible. However, from an Indian context Lauretta is probably a name derived from a similarly rhyming name Laura. In Indian states
such as Goa and Kerala, Biblical names are very often used. It is highly likely that Laura itself is an affectionate version
of the name Lauretta which means Victory over bad elements in Sanskrit and several Indian languages. Similar names, without any meaning, have arisen from this name such as Laura, Laureal, Lawrence.
