      The name Lorane is derived from the English and French name Laurence, which is associated with the Latin word laurus, meaning laurel. The laurel tree has long been a symbol of victory and triumph, historically used to crown victors in various competitions and wars.

In medieval times, laurel wreaths were associated with poets and scholars, signifying excellence and recognition in the arts and intellect. The name Lorane itself may not have extensive historical records compared to its root forms, but it has been adopted over the centuries, reflecting the cultural significance of victory and honor.
