History & Origin

Lorrene shadowed the popular Lorraine and Loreen, one of several respellings families tried when the sound was in fashion.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1923, and it had faded from records by the early nineteen-seventies. A girl named Lorrene at that peak would be past a hundred today. The spelling reads as a period variant of Lorraine.

Did you know? The region of Lorraine takes its name from Lotharingia, the land of Lothar, and its use as a girl's name spread widely in the early nineteen-hundreds, spinning off spellings like Loreen and Lorrene.
