Meaning & origin
Lurine is a rare American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1909. Its meaning is uncertain, but it is likely a modern formation drawing from names like Lura or Lorraine. The name peaked in its very first year of recorded use, 1909, and has never ranked among the top 1000 names. Its trajectory has been stable, with sporadic usage spread across a few decades but never widespread adoption. Because Lurine has no known top states or famous bearers, it remains an obscure vintage choice. Parents drawn to early 20th century American coinages may appreciate its delicate sound and historical rarity.
Lurine first appeared in U.S. records in 1909. It is likely a modern coinage formed by combining the name Lura (a short form of Laura) with the popular feminine suffix -ine. Alternatively, it may be a variant of Lorraine, which derives from the region of Lorraine in France. The name saw limited use in the early 20th century but has remained rare.
