Laryne is English in Origin.

Blending modern styling with deep roots, Laryne is a contemporary English respelling of Laraine/Loraine, forms linked to Lorraine, the French region. Lorraine derives from Medieval Latin Lotharingia, “the realm of Lothar,” from the Old High German elements hlud (“famous”) and hari (“army”). Accordingly, Laryne carries the sense “from Lothar’s realm” or, more broadly, “famous army.”

Names in this family rose sharply in the early to mid-20th century; the variant Laraine gained visibility through American actress Laraine Day, while creative spellings such as Laryne have appeared in recent decades in English-speaking countries. Related forms and variants include Lorraine, Loraine, Laraine, Lorene, Lorayne, and Lorrayne, with short forms Lari, Lara, and Raine. Though modern in appearance, Laryne connects to a long onomastic lineage tying personal identity to place and to the storied Germanic name Lothar.
