Lurene is a girl’s name with mixed origins. It is an American variant of the name Lurena, which comes from Lorena. Lorena is a name with Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian roots and is a variant of Lorraine. Lorraine is the name of a region in eastern France and means “kingdom of Lothar.” Lothar was a medieval king and the great-grandson of Charlemagne. An alternative origin for Lurene is that it stems from the Greek Ourania, which means “heavenly.” Ourania was the Greek goddess of astronomy and astrology. With such a one-of-a-kind name heritage, you might often find little Lurene gazing up at the stars.
