Lorayna is English in Origin.

Lorayna is a contemporary feminine given name, a phonetic elaboration of Lorraine and Lorena. Through Lorraine, it traces to the French region once called Lotharingia, “Lothar’s realm,” from the Germanic personal name Lothar (hlūd “famous” + hari “army”). Through Lorena, it also dovetails with Laura, from Latin laurus, “laurel” or “victory wreath.” The name therefore carries mixed associations: the martial fame of Lothar’s lineage and the classical laurel of honor.

In English-speaking countries, Lorraine peaked in the early–mid 20th century, spawning diminutives like Lori and variant spellings such as Loraine and Lorayne; Lorena has remained steady in Romance-language contexts and rose in the U.S. after the 19th‑century song “Lorena.” Lorayna appears as a late-20th‑century creative spelling. Related forms and nicknames include Loraina, Lorayne, Lorraine, Loraine, Lorena, Lorina, Lori, Lora, and Rena.
