Lorri is English in Origin.

Lorri is an English feminine given name, a streamlined variant of Lori that functions as a pet form of both Laura and, less often, Lorraine. From Laura, it ultimately traces to Latin laurus, meaning “laurel,” the ancient emblem of victory, honor, and poetic achievement. Through the Lorraine route, it connects to the French region named for Lotharingia, from the Germanic royal name Lothar (Hlothar) meaning “famous army,” yielding the sense “from Lorraine” or “of Lothar’s realm.”

The spelling Lorri surfaced in the mid-20th century and saw its greatest use in Anglophone countries during the 1960s-70s, mirroring the boom of Lori/Lorrie, before declining into rarer, vintage-tinged status. Related forms and cognates include Lori, Lorrie, Lorie, Laurie, Laurel, Laura, Lauren, Laure, and Lorraine. Its brisk, double-r, single-i profile gives a compact, contemporary feel while preserving the classic symbolism of laurel and the historical resonance of Lorraine.
