In the 1950s in South Africa there's a reference to a girl from an English-speaking family whose name was Lurlyn. (There were lots of Lyn, Lynn, Lynne little girls around at the time.) And I seem to recall that some or other US politician had/has a wife named Lurleen.

Does anyone know, or even suspect, what the origin could be? It seems unlikely that these names could have been invented independently.

Thanks!
