Lorraine (given name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorraine is used as a feminine name, above all in the US and Canada, after World War I, during which events brought Lorraine to the North American public imagination. Variations include: Lori, Lorri, Lorrie, Rainey.

"Laura", "Laurène" and "Lareine" (French, la reine or Queen) have distinct origins unconnected with "Lorraine".
