Delorine is Spanish in Origin.
Delorine is a rare feminine name most likely formed in English as an elaboration of Dolores or as a compound of De + Lorine. Dolores derives from Spanish dolores, “sorrows,” a Marian title (María de los Dolores), while Lorine is a diminutive of Lorraine, the French region name ultimately from Lotharingia, “realm of Lothar.” The French-influenced -ine ending reinforces a graceful, feminine profile. Pronounced deh-loh-REEN, Delorine thus carries either the devotional resonance of Dolores or the toponymic elegance of Lorraine.
Sparse but traceable, the name surfaces in North American records from the early to mid‑20th century, likely as a creative variation alongside Deloris/Delores and Lorraine. Usage remains uncommon today, giving it a vintage, tailored feel. Documented and plausible variants include Deloris, Delores, Delora, Delorise, Deloreen, DeLorine, and Lorine; diminutives such as Della, Lori, and Rina occur in practice. Related forms in other languages include Spanish Dolores and French Lorraine/Lorine.
Delorine is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 2 countries.
