About Lorien
The name Lórien appears several times in Tolkien’s novels. It’s both a place name and a character name, and although the character of Lórien (Master of Visions and Dreams, also called Irmo) is male, there’s no reason why this name couldn’t work on a girl as well. Case in point: Tori Amos named her daughter, born in 2000, Natashya Lórien.
Pronounced LOR-ee-en.
As of October 2026, Lorien ranked #11512 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2327 in 1979.
