History & Origin

Lorrayne is a variant of Lorraine, from the French province whose name derives from Latin Lotharingia, 'the kingdom of Lothar'. The double-r, -ayne styling is a twentieth-century flourish.

The name peaked around the nineteen-twenties alongside Lorraine and is now rare in any spelling; it reads as a grandmother-era name and has not been revived.

Did you know? Lorraine's popularity as a first name owes much to the region's fame during the First World War; the Lorrayne spelling is one of several ornate variants families tried in that era.
