Fantasy name invented by Richard Doddridge Blackmore for the heroine of his novel Lorna Doone (1869)
Blackmore seems to have derived the name from the Scottish placename Lorn/Lorne (Gaelic Latharna), a territory in Argyll [1] [2] [3]
The place name means '(Territory of) the people of Loarn Mór ('the great fox')' [4]
