Larnie is in Origin.

Larnie is a modern English given name, used for girls and occasionally boys, heard most in Australia and New Zealand. It often functions as a pet form built around established names: it echoes Lorna (a Scottish literary coinage ultimately linked to the place‑name Lorne), can shorten Alarna or Alana, and is sometimes created as a blend of Lara and Annie. Because of these routes, meanings attributed to Larnie vary and may include “from Lorne,” “little rock,” or “harmony,” alongside the affectionate sense conveyed by the -ie diminutive.

In records it remains rare but steadily visible from the late 20th century onward, typically as an informal given name that stands on its own. Variant spellings include Larni, Larny, and Larney; related forms are Larna and Lorna, while Lari and Lani serve as minimalist nicknames. Some also connect Larnie to the Irish place-name Larne or the surname Larney, giving it a subtle toponymic flavor. Its light, friendly sound keeps it distinctive yet easy to wear.
