What is the meaning of the name Lorilla ?

The baby name Lorilla is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /lɔˈrɪlə/ (loh-RIL-uh).

Lorilla is Latin in Origin.

Lorilla is a rare feminine given name whose roots trace to Latin laurus “laurel,” most directly through Laura and its short form Lora. The -illa ending is a Romance diminutive, so the name carries the sense “little laurel” or “laurel-crowned.” Because laurel wreaths symbolized victory, honor, and endurance in classical tradition, Lorilla evokes a quietly triumphant, evergreen image.

The form appears sporadically in English-language records of the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in North America, alongside kindred -illa elaborations such as Marilla, Corilla, and Lorella. While never widespread, it has been used both as an ornamental extension of Lora/Lori and as a family-coined variation. Related and variant forms include Laura, Lora, Lorella, Loretta, Lauretta, and the Spanish diminutive Laurita; possible nicknames are Lori, Lora, and Rilla. Today Lorilla remains uncommon, offering vintage charm with familiar Laura roots.
