Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Larue is a girl's and boy's baby name of French origin, from the French la rue meaning 'the street' or 'the road,' used primarily as a surname that crossed into given name territory through the American tradition of using family surnames as first names.
With nearly 4,000 recorded U.S. births, LaRue has a genuine American history — particularly in the South, where it carries the distinctive charm of French-influenced naming traditions in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
