覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Lori は英語圏の女性名で、例文のように Lorraine の愛称・短縮形として使われる。Laura や Laurie に近い名前の系列とも結び付けられるが、個人によって正式名は異なる。普通名詞ではなく、文中では Lori と大文字で書くこと、Everyone calls her Lori のように call と共に人の呼び名を示すことを覚える。
Treat Lori as a woman’s name and write it with a capital L. In the example context, it is the familiar short form used for someone whose full name is Lorraine, so remember the pattern “Everyone calls her Lori.” The same spelling is also associated with the Laura–Laurie group of names, and a particular Lori may have a different formal name. The practical clue is the sentence role: Lori appears as the name of a person who acts, speaks, or is introduced.

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.
