Loraleigh is a modern English given name likely blending Lora and Leigh, or a respelling of Lorelei/Lorelai. Lora derives from Laura, from Latin laurus "laurel," a symbol of victory; Leigh is an English surname from Old English leah "meadow, clearing." On that basis, Loraleigh can suggest "laurel meadow." If taken from German Lorelei/Lorelai - the Rhine rock linked to a siren - the elements trace to Middle High German luren "to lurk" and lei "rock."

Used chiefly in North America since the mid-20th century, the name follows trends for compound girls' names and the wider adoption of Lorelei/Lorelai in English, with fresh attention in the 2000s. Documented variants include Lorelei, Lorelai, Loralei, Loralie, Loralee, Loraley, and Loraleigh; hyphenated or spaced forms such as Lora-Leigh and Lora Leigh also occur. It remains uncommon, offering a lyrical twist on familiar parts.
