Loreli is of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word 'laureus', meaning 'of laurel'. It is traditionally given to girls and means 'bearer of laurels', signifying victory or success. The name has a distinct feminine charm with its soft 'l' sounds and musical rhythm. Loreli was quite popular during the late Middle Ages but has since become less common, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet elegant name for their daughter.
The name Loreli experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with periods of relatively high and low usage. The most notable peaks occurred between 1952 and 1953 (both with 13 births), 1960 (16 births), and more recently, in 2007 to 2009, where the number of births exceeded 20 each year, with a peak of 22 in both 2007 and 2008. However, there were also many years with fewer than 10 births, including most years between 1974 and 1995, as well as several recent years, such as 2016 to 2018 (all with 10 births), and 2023 with only 17 births. Overall, Loreli has been given to a total of 636 newborns across the provided years.
