Editor’s reflection
A French province turned girl's name — and a hymn-era favourite with no biblical root.
Lorraine is a place name before it is a personal name. The region in north-eastern France takes its name from Lotharingia, the kingdom of Lothair II, a Carolingian territory carved out in the ninth century. So the meaning is, quite literally, 'from the kingdom of Lothair' — no Hebrew, no Greek, and nothing in Scripture.
It entered English use in the late nineteenth century, partly through Joan of Arc, who was born at Domrémy in Lorraine and is often called the Maid of Lorraine, and partly through the Cross of Lorraine, the double-barred cross adopted as a symbol of the Free French in the Second World War. Both associations gave a geographic name a devotional flavour it did not start with.
It peaked in English-speaking countries in the 1930s and 1940s and has been quiet since, which is usually the point in the revival cycle where a name starts sounding fresh again. Related forms include Laraine, Loraine and the short forms Rainey and Lori.
“God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
