History & Origin
Lavoris is a rare American coinage joining the fashionable La- prefix to an -oris ending, in the sound-family of Doris and Cloris. It happens to match the Lavoris mouthwash brand of the era, but nothing shows the brand was the actual inspiration; honesty calls for leaving the origin open rather than asserting a link.
It barely registered, given to only a handful of girls a year across a brief window in the nineteen-sixties before vanishing — one of the shortest-lived names in this long-tail set. A Lavoris today would be in her sixties, and the name reads as an obscure period coinage rather than a name with roots to trace.
