Lorrita is in Origin.

Lorrita is a rare feminine name most plausibly shaped as a variant of Loretta, influenced by the Spanish diminutive -ita and the doubled r that signals a trilled sound (lo-REE-tah). Through Loretta it traces back to Laura, from Latin laurus, "laurel," the ancient emblem of honor and victory. Some usages also reflect a creative blend of Lori and Rita, or occasional echo of Lorraine, though the Laura/Loretta line is the usual interpretation.

Documented in mid- to late-20th-century records in the United States, the Philippines, and parts of Latin America, Lorrita fits the era’s taste for embellished forms of Laura, Loretta, and Lori. It remains uncommon today. Related and variant forms include Loretta, Lorretta, Lauretta, Lorita, Lora, Lori, Lorrie, and Laurette; cognates or influences include Lorraine, Rita, and Margarita. Meaning is typically given as "little Loretta/Laura," "laurel," or "laurel-crowned, victorious."
