History & Origin

Larie is a variant of Laurie, the affectionate short form of Laura or Laurence, from the Latin for laurel. The simplified spelling gave the name a breezy, informal look, and it appeared quietly on American girls through the twentieth century.

Larie was only about fifteen a year even at its peak around nineteen-eighty-one and never became common. It reads as a casual respelling of Laurie rather than a distinct classic, and it has stayed rare.

Did you know? Larie trims the familiar Laurie to a simpler spelling, part of a mid-century taste for pared-down, casual versions of well-loved names.
