Where it comes from
An Italian pet form of Laura; first introduced into English as the name of one of the narrators in the Decameron.
proper noun Loretta
- A female given name from Latin. Lauretta, ay, you would have her called so; but for my part I never knew any good come of giving girls these heathen Christian names; if you had called her Deborah, or Tabitha, or Ruth, or Rebecca, or Joan, nothing of this had ever happened; but I always knew Lauretta was a runaway name.
