History & Origin

Larayne shows the early-century taste for dressing up a popular name like Lorraine with a fresh, La-prefixed styling.

The name was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1923, and it appeared thinly over a long span into recent years. A girl named Larayne at that early peak would be past a hundred today. It reads as an elaborated variant of Lorraine.

Did you know? The parent name Lorraine comes from the French region of that name, and Larayne simply reshapes it into La-Rayne, one of the creative respellings families tried while the sound was fashionable.
