Lauraine is Latin in Origin.
Lauraine is a feminine name in English and occasional French use, best seen as a blend of Laura with the -ine suffix and as a spelling variant of Lorraine. As a Laura derivative it ultimately comes from Latin laurus, “laurel,” a symbol of victory and honor. As a Lorraine cousin, it alludes to the French region named for Lothar (Latin Lotharius), from Germanic roots meaning “fame” and “army.”
Recorded from the late 19th century, Lauraine rose in the 1920s–1950s alongside Lorraine and Laura; the actress Laraine Day further popularized the -raine ending. Today it is rare yet familiar in the US, Canada, and the UK, with occasional Francophone use. Related variants and cognates include Lorraine, Loraine, Laraine, Laurine, Laureen, Laurene, and Lauriane; Laura and Lauren are close relatives.
