Lorien is in Origin.
Lorien is a modern literary given name drawn from J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium. In Quenya, Lórien refers to the Vala Irmo’s gardens, the “Land of Dreams”; it is tied to lórë/lórien “dream, slumber,” giving the name the sense of “dream” or “place of dreams.” It also echoes Lothlórien, the golden forest of the Elves, associating Lorien with enchantment, blossoms, and serenity.
Used as a unisex name in English-speaking countries since the 1960s, Lorien gained modest recognition among fantasy readers, saw small spikes with The Lord of the Rings films, and appears in later sci‑fi (Babylon 5; the Lorien homeworld in I Am Number Four). Variants and related forms include Lórien (accented), Lorian, Lorienn, Lorienne, and Loryen; related by sound, not origin, are Lauren and Lorraine. Common short forms are Lori, Lorie, and Ren. Overall meaning centers on dreams, reverie, and otherworldly beauty.
