Lorae, pronounced /ˈlɔːreɪ/, is a distinctive and unique given name of American origin. It is a blend of two popular names: Laura and Rae. This creative combination results in a name that stands out yet remains approachable. Lorae's spelling is often associated with the Latin suffix '-ae', which denotes 'pertaining to' or 'of'. However, it does not have a specific meaning in this context. The name has been used infrequently throughout history but gained popularity in recent decades. It is considered unisex, though it is more commonly given to females.
The name Lorae was most popular in the late 1940s to early 1950s, with peaks of 7 births in 1948 and 7 births in 1957. After a decline in the mid-1960s, there was another peak of 7 births in 1968. However, the overall trend is one of decreasing popularity over time, as evidenced by the total of only 80 births across these years.
