Lori-Lynn is in Origin.

Lori-Lynn is a modern hyphenated feminine given name formed from Lori and Lynn. Lori is chiefly the English diminutive of Laura (Latin laurus “laurel”) and also used as a short form of Lorraine (ultimately from the kingdom of Lothar). Lynn derives from Welsh llyn “lake, pool” and was adopted in English as a given name and surname element. Put together, Lori-Lynn can be read as “laurel by the lake” or “laurel lake,” with the alternative etymology “Lothar’s realm + lake.”

As a compound, the name reflects mid‑20th‑century North American naming fashions, when Lori and Lynn were both popular and often paired in double names, especially in the 1960s–1980s in the United States and Canada. Variants include Lori Lynn (unhyphenated), Lorilynn/LoriLynn (solid), Lori-Lyn, Lori-Lynne, Lorie-Lynn, Lorrie-Lynn, and Laurie-Lynn; related forms with the base name altered include Laura-Lynn and Lauren-Lynn. Diminutive usage typically drops the second element, yielding Lori or Lynn.
