Lareen is a variation of Lorraine or Laureen, derived from the Latin laurus meaning laurel — the victory wreath of ancient Rome. The name blends French elegance with Persian phonetics, and is used in Armenia and Iran as a soft, feminine given name.

In Persian culture, Lareen is sometimes connected to the word for bright or shining. In Armenian communities, it is valued as a melodic, distinctively feminine name with European roots.
