History & Origin
Lossie is a genuine antique -ie name that appears on early-nineteen-hundreds records, largely across the South; its origin is uncertain, perhaps a pet form beside Lottie or Flossie or a purely regional coinage. Rather than invent a root, it is flagged as opaque.
It rose around the turn of the century, crested near 1921 at just a few dozen girls a year, and faded by mid-century; it is a real name of the great-grandparent era whose exact source we cannot confirm.
