What is the meaning of the name Lurayne ?

Lurayne is English in Origin.

Lurayne is a rare modern English feminine given name, likely a creative respelling of Lorraine and influenced by Rayne/LaRaine, pronounced loo-RAYN. Lorraine comes from the French place name for the region of Lorraine, ultimately from Medieval Latin Lotharingia, “realm of Lothar.” Lothar is a Germanic compound of hlūd “famous” and hari “army,” so the name carries the sense “from Lorraine” or, by extension, “Lothar’s domain.” The -ayne ending also echoes French reine “queen,” through names like LaRaine, which has shaped some parents’ interpretations.

Usage of Lurayne appears sparsely in 20th‑century U.S. records, peaking when Lorraine and its variants were fashionable in the 1930s–60s, and remains uncommon today. Related forms include Lorraine, Loraine, Lorayne, LaRaine, Raine/Rayne, Lurene, and Lureen. Possible nicknames are Lori, Lora, Lulu, and Rainy, giving Lurayne both vintage ties and contemporary sound.
