Lorana seems to have been known in the USA before this name. I have been looking (not for names!) through a Scottish provincial newspaper, the Fife Herald, dated 19 February 1846. On page 4, from an unnamed American newspaper, it quotes advice to young men regarding getting a wife and settling down in domestic bliss. One sentence goes, in part: "... a host of Susans, Sarahs, Maries, Loranas, Olivias, Elizas, Betsies, Peggies, and Dorothies..." Of course, a printer may have mistaken somebody's handwriting of Lorena for Lorana, but it's still an interesting find regarding the date of what seems to imply quite common usage. Pretty name.
