lori の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 laurus(月桂樹)に由来する女性名 Laura の短縮形・変形。月桂樹は古代ローマで勝利と栄誉の象徴とされた。関連語: laurel(月桂樹)、laureate(受賞者)。「栄光を冠する者」という意味が名前に込められている。
Lori is a modern feminine given name used chiefly in English. It can function as a short form of Lorraine and is also treated as a spelling variant or pet form associated with Laurie and Laura. Laura ultimately comes from Latin laurus, “laurel,” a plant associated in the ancient Mediterranean world with honor and victory. Because Lori has been formed or adopted through more than one naming route, its immediate source can differ from person to person.
