Lorinda

Lorinda is an English feminine name that appears to be an elaboration or variant of Lora or Laura, ultimately derived from the Latin laurus, meaning laurel tree, a plant associated in classical antiquity with honor and victory. The suffix -inda, common in fanciful coinages of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, lends the name a romantic, literary quality. It is closely related to Linda, Lora, Laura, and Laurinda, and shares their broad tradition of use across the English-speaking world.
