      The name Lorenna is derived from the Latin name Laura, which translates to laurel in English. In ancient times, the laurel wreath was a symbol of victory and status, often associated with triumph and honor. Therefore, Lorenna carries connotations of achievement, strength, and beauty, making it a significant name choice across cultures.
