Lorri
Lorri Origin and Meaning
Lorri is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive or variant spelling of names like Laura, Lorraine, or Loretta. These parent names have Latin roots, with Laura meaning 'laurel' (symbolizing victory and honor), and Lorraine deriving from the French region of the same name. The spelling variation with the double 'r' gives the name a distinctive touch while maintaining its familiar sound. Lorri was most popular in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, coinciding with America's preference for nicknames as given names. Though less common today, Lorri retains a friendly, approachable quality with vintage charm. The name strikes a balance between formal and casual, and its shortness makes it straightforward yet complete, rather than feeling like a nickname requiring a longer form.
