What is the meaning of the name Lorine ?

The baby name Lorine is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced loh-REEN.

Lorine is French in Origin.

Lorine is a feminine given name formed with the -ine suffix on the Laura/Lore- stem, ultimately from Latin laurus, meaning "laurel," emblem of victory and honor. It appears in English and French naming traditions and is also recorded in Scandinavia; in French it closely parallels Laurine, while the English spelling aligns with Lorene/Loreen. Though visually similar, it is distinct from Lorraine, which derives from the toponym Lotharingia.

Usage in the United States rose in the early 20th century - poet Lorine Niedecker (1903–1970) is a notable bearer - before fading after midcentury; contemporary occurrences persist at low levels in France and the Nordic countries. The core meaning remains "laurel," extending to senses like victory or crowned with laurel. Variants and cognates include Lorene, Loreen, Laurine, Laureen, Lora, Laura, Laure, Lauren, and Laurel; common diminutives are Lori and Lorie, with Rina also used. Related but etymologically separate: Lorraine.
