Loralee Origin and Meaning

The name Loralee is a girl's name.

Loralee is a charming feminine name that combines elements of Laura (meaning 'laurel tree' or 'victory' in Latin) and Lee (meaning 'meadow' or 'clearing' in Old English). The name has a lyrical, musical quality, perhaps influenced by the German folk song 'Lorelei' about an enchanting maiden. Often associated with the American South due to its melodic double-suffix style, Loralee peaked in popularity during the 1940s and 1950s but has since become uncommon, giving it a vintage appeal. The name conveys a sweet, romantic impression with its flowing syllables and soft sounds. Parents might choose Loralee for its graceful beauty, old-fashioned charm, and the pleasant imagery it evokes of musical harmony and natural beauty.
