Hi Bruce,
What you're seeing there is the Packagist project name syntax. Packagist is a repository for PHP tools, frameworks, libraries, etc.
The first 'laravel' there is the owner of the package space. They have many different packages (think of them like code repositories) available. The second 'laravel' is the name of the project you're installing. So, laravel/laravel means grab the laravel framework package from the laravel group.
If you have a look at the list of the other packages they offer at Packagist it should help to clear things up a bit.
