Lorymer is English, French in Origin.

Lorymer is a rarely used given name derived from an English–Scottish occupational surname. It comes via Anglo-Norman French loremier/loriner, ultimately from Latin lorum, “strap,” denoting a craftsperson who made bridle-bits, spurs, and other metal fittings for horse harness. The core meaning is “bridle maker” or, more broadly, “maker of horse-gear.”

Attested as a surname in medieval records, the word survives in the Worshipful Company of Loriners in London. As a forename, Lorymer arose in the 19th–20th centuries through the fashion for transferring surnames to given names, particularly in Britain and North America, and it remains uncommon. Established variants and related spellings include Lorimer (the standard form), Lorrimer, and Loriner; Lorymer itself is an archaic or phonetic spelling. Informal short forms such as Lori/Lory or Laurie are occasionally used.
