The origins the old family name Laür can be found within medieval France. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in France, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages.

However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Laür was an occupational name for a person who worked at a granary. The name translates literally from the Old French as of the granary.
