History & Origin

Lourine reached a small number of girls in the early twentieth century, with a quiet high around 1921. It shadows Laurine and Lorraine, drawing on the laurel and the French place name, and reads as a phonetic variant rather than a distinct name.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and faded by mid-century. A girl named Lourine then would be past a hundred today. The name keeps a gentle, old-fashioned lilt and has not been revived.

Did you know? Lourine sits among a cluster of early-century -rine names, Laurine, Maurine, Corrine, that families spelled by ear, giving one soft, flowing sound many different openings.
