Lury is in Origin.

Lury is a rare given name with several plausible roots. In English it most often functions as a respelling or diminutive related to Laura/Laurence via Laurie/Lori, ultimately from Latin laurus, “laurel,” the tree that signified victory and honor in antiquity. It can also arise as a given name from the surname Lury/Lurie, a Jewish and British family name linked to Luria, itself traced to the Italian place-name Loria (Veneto).

Records show sporadic use of Lury in the British Isles and North America from the late 19th century onward, typically feminine but occasionally unisex when taken from the surname. Variant forms and near-cognates include Luri, Lurie, Lura, Laurie, Lori, and Lorie; related classics are Laura, Lauren, and Laurence. Meanings therefore vary by path: “laurel; victorious, honored” in the Latin line, or “from Loria” in the toponymic surname line.
