Larraine is a unique and elegant feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'lare', which translates to 'to care for' or 'to cherish'. The name has a soft and melodic sound, often associated with warmth and nurturing qualities. It was traditionally used in ancient Roman culture as an epithet for the goddess Vesta, who was revered as the protector of home and family. While not widely popular today, Larraine remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking a uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"Larraine seems to have been quite popular in the early 1900s, with a significant increase from 32 births in 1928 to a peak of 53 births in 1947. However, popularity declined sharply thereafter, with fewer than 20 births per year from 1950 onwards, and often less than 10."
