Etymology

Borrowed from German Lorelei (“siren of Rhine”), not used as a given name in Germany. The Lorelei (or Lorelei, Loreleï, Lore Lay, Lore-Ley, Lurley, Lurelei, Lurlei) is an infamous maritime disaster site because of the Rhine's current and the surrounding terrain. The ship wrecks have been subject to mythological explanation attempts since around 900 AD.
