Meaning and history

Loreen is a modern feminine name that may be a variant of Lorene, Lorraine, or names derived from Laura. Lorene is often an elaboration of Laura, from Latin laurus, “laurel,” while Lorraine is a French regional name with a separate history. The intended origin therefore varies. A notable bearer is Swedish singer Loreen, born Lorine Talhaoui, who performs under this spelling and won the Eurovision Song Contest twice. One universal meaning should not be assumed.
