Lorelei First Name Meaning

Lorelei is a female name of German origin, meaning "Alluring Enchantress." The name originates from the Old German words lureln, meaning "murmuring," and ley, meaning "rock." It is derived from the 132-meter-high steep slate rock on the right bank of the River Rhine in Germany, known as Lorelei. The rock's murmuring sound, combined with its special echo, inspired various tales and legends, including the story of an enchanting woman associated with the rock. The name Lorelei has been immortalized in literature and music, with references in works by German authors Clemens Brentano and Heinrich Heine. Despite its association with maritime disasters, the name Lorelei continues to be a popular choice and has also been referenced in pop culture.
