Lorayne is a bright twist on the French name Lorraine. It means “from Lorraine” and echoes the honor of laurel. It flows easily as loh-RAYN in both British and American English. Picture it dancing off the tongue like a raindrop in a warm monsoon breeze over a jasmine-filled courtyard. In early 20th-century Minnesota, Lorayne appeared on newborn lists from 1912 to 1928, even reaching rank 83 in 1912. It even carries a dash of old-school swagger, like the first sip of sweet chai on a dewy morning. Today it feels like a rare gem. The name blends vintage charm with fresh energy. Warm, regal, and playful, Lorayne inspires every little girl with a story of heritage and hope.
