Meaning & origin
Loree is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1896, with its highest recorded usage in 1910. Despite never ranking in the top thousand, it has maintained a stable but low level of use through 2025. The name is a respelling or variant of more common names like Lori and Laura, linking it to the Latin 'laurus' for laurel. Loree saw a small peak in the 1910s but never caught on widely, remaining a low-frequency choice. It has no strong regional concentration, and its appeal lies in its simple, melodic sound.
Loree is a 20th-century American variant of names like Lori, Laura, or Loretta, themselves derived from the Latin 'Laura' meaning 'laurel'. The laurel was a symbol of victory and honor in ancient Rome. Loree first appeared in U.S. records in 1896, peaking in the 1910s, and has since been used as a feminine given name, though it never reached widespread popularity.
