Larna is Irish in Origin.
Larna is a rare feminine given name in the English-speaking world, seen from the mid-20th century in Britain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Its source is uncertain; it is most often treated as a respelling of Lorna or a blend influenced by the short forms Lara and Lana. Occasional use reflects place-name echoes.
Meaning depends on the path taken. As a sister form of Lorna, Larna points to the Scottish district name Lorne, often linked to the early Dál Riata ruler Loarn mac Eirc. As a Lara/Lana blend, it echoes Lara (Latin Lar “household guardian” or Slavic Larisa) and Lana (short for Alana or Svetlana “light”). Another reference is Larne, from Irish Latharna “territory of Lathar.” Variants/related: Larnah, Larnae, Lorna, Lana, Lara, Alana; nicknames Lari, Larnie.
