Loraine is in Origin.
Loraine is an English given name from the French place-name Lorraine, ultimately from Medieval Latin Lotharingia, the realm of Lothar. Lothar, built from Proto-Germanic elements meaning "famous" (hlud) and "army" (harj), gives the often-cited sense "famous army," though the most direct meaning is "from Lorraine." The single-r spelling is an Anglicized variant of Lorraine, seen mainly in the United States and Britain.
Used as a personal name since the late 19th century, Loraine rose in the early to mid-20th century, in step with place-name fashions and anglophone interest in France; American usage peaked in the 1920s-1940s. Standard variants include Lorraine, Lorayne, and the rarer Lorain or Loraine. International counterparts are French Lorraine and Spanish/Italian/Portuguese Lorena. Nicknames and short forms include Lori, Lorrie/Lorie, Lora, and Raine. Pronunciation is typically loh-RAYN; some dialects use luh-RAYN.
