From the place of laurel trees
Lorne is a Scottish name derived from the district of Lorne in Argyll. It is traditionally associated with the laurel tree, which was a symbol of victory and honor in ancient times. The name gained popularity in the 19th century due to the Marquess of Lorne, who served as Governor General of Canada.
