Loriane is French in Origin.

Loriane is a modern French feminine given name with two converging roots. It can be treated as a streamlined variant of Lorraine, the toponymic name from the French region whose medieval Latin form, Lotharingia, means "realm of Lothar." Lothar derives from Old High German elements hlud "famous" and hari "army." Alternatively, Loriane is often understood as a blended form of Lori (a short form of Laura, from laurus "laurel") and Anne (from Hebrew Hannah "grace"), yielding the appealing sense "laurel grace."

Use of Loriane rose in Francophone countries in the late 20th century and has remained modest but steady, occasionally appearing in Canada and elsewhere. Related forms and near-variants include Lorianne, Lori-Anne, Loriana, Lauriane, Lorraine, and Lorene; diminutives include Lori, Lorie, and Riane. The name's soft cadence and layered etymology make it a flexible, contemporary choice with classic roots.
