Lorrayne Origin and Meaning

The name Lorrayne is a girl's name.

Lorrayne is an elaborate feminine spelling variation of Lorraine, which originated as a reference to the Lorraine region of France. This ornate spelling variant emerged during the mid-20th century when extended feminine forms gained popularity. The distinctive 'y' insertion gives the name a more decorative, elaborate quality while maintaining its classic pronunciation. Lorrayne peaked in usage between the 1940s and 1960s, giving it a somewhat vintage character today. The name evokes images of classic Hollywood glamour and mid-century sophistication. While the standard Lorraine spelling remains more common, Lorrayne offers a distinctive alternative with the same elegant French regional associations and melodic sound pattern.
