Larayne

Larayne is a feminine name and yet another respelling of Lorraine. Though this moniker is an English creation, its story is tied to a region in eastern France. The place name Lorraine means "kingdom of Lothar," referring to a medieval kingdom that once stretched between France and Germany. Lothar, the kingdom's Frankish ruler, had his main residence in the area that is now known as Lorraine. While Larayne and other variant spellings have arisen, they all carry the same air of regality and elegance that Lorraine first exuded.
