Lorilee is English in Origin.
Lorilee is a modern English compound feminine name formed by Lori (a pet form of Laura) and Lee. Lori derives from Latin laurus “laurel,” symbol of victory and honor in classical antiquity; Lee comes from Old English leah “clearing, meadow.” The blend carries a layered meaning such as “laurel in the meadow” or “victorious meadow,” and its sound was likely shaped by the popularity of the German name Lorelei (Rhine rock-siren), though Lorilee remains etymologically distinct.
The name surfaced in North American records in the mid-20th century, aligning with trends for double-barrel and -lee endings, and peaked between the 1950s and 1970s before becoming uncommon. Spellings and variants include Loralee, Loralie, Lorelee, Lorilei, Loralei, Lori-Lee, and Lori Lee; short forms are Lori, Lorie, or Lee. Notable bearers include author Lorilee Craker. Related names: Laura, Laurel, Lorelei.
