Lorette
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lorette: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1974.
Lorette is a French diminutive of Laura, ultimately from the Latin 'laurus' meaning 'laurel', a symbol of victory and honour. The name is perhaps best known through Saint Lorette, a 14th-century French recluse, though it also shares roots with the Loreto shrine in Italy, a major Marian pilgrimage site. Places named Loreto can be found in Mexico, Peru, and the United States, all deriving from the same root. For parents seeking a more distinctive alternative to Laura or Lauren, Lorette offers a delicate, vintage charm with distinct Gallic flair, though it remains exceptionally rare in modern Scottish records.
