Lorris is a unisex given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Laurentius. The name Laurentius itself stems from 'laurus', meaning 'laurel' in Latin, which was used as a symbol of victory and success in ancient Rome. Lorris is often associated with qualities such as strength, courage, and wisdom. It has been popular throughout history, particularly in France where it shares its popularity with names like Laurence and Laurent.
The name Lorris was quite popular from the late 1910s to the early 1920s, with a peak of 8 births each year between 1918 and 1924. However, it seems to have declined in popularity thereafter, with most years showing only 5 births until it reached an all-time low of zero births from 1936 onwards, except for a brief resurgence in 1955 with 5 births. Overall, there were 85 births named Lorris over this period.
