Lorilynn is English in Origin.
Lorilynn is a modern American blended feminine name that fuses Lori with Lynn. Lori is typically the short form of Laura, from Latin laurus, "laurel," a symbol of victory and honor; in some cases it abbreviates Lorraine, ultimately from the Germanic Lothar ("famous army"). Lynn comes from Welsh llyn, meaning "lake" or "pool," later adopted in English as a surname and given name. Together, Lorilynn evokes "laurel by the lake" or the union of laurel and water imagery.
The name arose in mid-20th-century North America, when hyphenated and compounded girls' names were fashionable, and it shows sporadic use in U.S. records from the 1950s onward. Though uncommon today, it retains a gentle, lyrical sound. Variants and spellings include Lori-Lynn, Lori Lynn, Lorilyn, Lorilyn, Loralyn, Lorelyn, Laurelyn, and Lori-Lynne. Related short forms are Lori and Lynn.
