Lorelle is English, French in Origin.
Lorelle is a modern feminine name formed as an elaboration of Laurel/Laura with the French-influenced -elle ending, sometimes spelled Laurelle. It ultimately traces to Latin laurus, “laurel, bay tree,” the plant used to crown victors and poets in antiquity. The name therefore conveys ideas of victory, honor, accomplished achievement, and poetic inspiration, shared with its cognates Laura and Laurel; in French, related forms include Laure and Laurette.
Usage surfaced in Anglophone records in the mid-20th century, paralleling the rise of Lori and Lauren. Though never common, it appears in the United States, Canada, and Australia as a distinctive twist within the Laura family of names. Variants and near-forms include Lorel, Lorell, Laurelle, Larelle, and Laurel; diminutives range from Lori/Lorie to Elle/Ellie. Not to be confused with the German Lorelei, which has different roots and meaning.
