php/laravel qestion

my god..

feel like i'm missing something.

looking over tutorials/examples..

i get create laravel/laravel proj
 to create a larvel project "proj"

but --- >what  does "laravel/laravel" mean  why the need for this
syntax? is there another "foo/foo" ??

I've beem searing.. SO/QUORA/etc  all over.. where is the magic site
that lays this out like i'm 5!!!

wheres my drink..
