Lorin
Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lorin: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1999.
Lorin is a name with multiple origins, most commonly seen as a variant of the French Laurent or the Latin Laurentius, meaning "from Laurentum" or "crowned with laurel." It can also be a modern spelling of the Scottish and Irish Lorcan, meaning "little fierce one." Famous bearers include the American jazz pianist and composer Lorin Hollander, known for his virtuosic performances, and Lorin Maazel, the celebrated conductor who led the New York Philharmonic. The name shares its root with the city of Saint-Laurent in France, though no direct place connection is prominent. As a variant, Lorin is often considered a unisex name, though it is more commonly given to boys in Scotland, where it has appeared sporadically since the 1970s.
