Lorilee Origin and Meaning

The name Lorilee is a girl's name.

Lorilee is a feminine given name that blends 'Lori,' a diminutive of Laura (meaning 'laurel' or 'victory'), with the popular 'lee' suffix that adds a musical, flowing quality to names. This creative combination emerged in the mid-20th century during a trend of fashioning unique names with decorative endings. Lorilee has never been among the top-ranking girls' names in the US but maintains a steady presence as a distinctive choice. The name carries connotations of victory and celebration from its Laura roots, while its melodic quality gives it a gentle, feminine appeal. Parents might choose Lorilee for its balance between familiarity and uniqueness.
