History & Origin
Larena is recorded from 1905 onward, with its clearest peak arriving surprisingly late, around 1974, well after most similarly built coined names had faded.
Even at that later peak it stayed modest, only a couple dozen girls a year, and its unusually long, unbroken run through recent decades marks it as a quiet, low-key survivor.
