Where does the name Lori come from?

WITH THE SPELLING GIVEN it is probably related to Lorelei a mermaid-like creature in Nordic Mythology. Lori Lemaris of Atlantis, figures in the Superman mythos and like all Atlanteans- as you can"t talk underwater, has telepathic powers- thus she knew Clark Kent was Superman when she met him while operating undercover at Metropolis University, disguiised as a handicapped college student ( her tail was folded up). Lori can also be a diminutive of Laura. according to some sources Laura means Garrison or Military encampment in Russian- a appopriate choice for the lover of Dr. Zhivago when assigned to the Field Hospital.

What is the difference between the names 'Lori' and 'Lory' in Italian?

That the spelling ending in "i" can be a native nickname and the spelling ending in "y" cannot is one difference between the names Lori and Lory in Italian.Specifically, some letters in the Italian alphabet are associated with foreign and loan words. The letter "y" is one such example. The "ee" sound will be rendered in Italian as "i", not "y".The pronunciation neverthelesswill be "LO-ree" for both forms of the name.
