Meaning & origin
Lourine is a rare feminine name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1911. Its peak year was also 1911, with fewer than five recorded births, and it has never ranked in national statistics. The trajectory has been stable but negligible, with no revival in subsequent decades. The name is absent from top state lists and appears to be a variant of the more familiar Lorene or Lorraine, which are place-derived names from the French region of Lorraine. Lourine remains a highly uncommon choice, with a vintage sound tied to early 20th-century naming patterns.
The name Lourine is rare and appears to be an English diminutive or variant of Lorene, which itself derives from Lorraine, the name of a region in France. Lorraine ultimately comes from the medieval Latin Lotharingia, meaning 'land of the people of Lothair.' The name gained moderate use in the United States in the early 20th century but never achieved widespread popularity.
