Loralie Origin and Meaning

The name Loralie is a girl's name.

Loralie is a melodic feminine name with multiple potential origins. Most commonly, it's considered a variant spelling of Lorelei, which derives from Germanic folklore about a siren who lured sailors to their doom on the Rhine River with her enchanting singing. Alternatively, it may combine elements of 'Laura' with the French suffix '-lie.' The name carries a dreamy, lyrical quality with its flowing syllables and soft sounds. While less common than spellings like Lorelei or Lorelai, Loralie offers a unique twist on the classic name while maintaining its musical essence.

Its romantic and somewhat mythical associations give it an ethereal charm.
