Lorah is a feminine name with Latin origins and a respelling of Lora. Like Laura and Lorie, Lorah derives from the Latin word laurus and means "laurel." Traditionally, laurel wreaths were used as a symbol of victory in ancient Rome and Greece, and still are to this day—think Nobel laureate. Back in the day, winners of sporting events like the Olympics would be honored with a laurel wreath to signify their triumph. With all this in mind, baby Lorah can hold their head up high with a positive attitude and winning spirit.
