Lorayne

Lorayne Origin and Meaning

The name Lorayne is a girl's name.

Lorayne is an elaborate feminine variant of Lora, itself a diminutive of Eleanor or Laura. Of Latin and Greek origins, the name suggests 'laurel' or 'light.' Though never widely popular, Lorayne saw modest usage in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, particularly the 1930s-1950s. The unusual spelling with the 'y' and 'e' gives the name a distinctive, somewhat ornate quality. Today, Lorayne remains a relatively rare choice, appealing to parents seeking a vintage name with feminine elegance that isn't commonly heard. Its similarity to the more common Lorraine sometimes causes confusion, though Lorayne has its own unique character and pronunciation.
