I've know a woman with this name for at least 30 years now. Just thought to look it up now though, out of curiosity, but no results! Googling didn't help much either. She's said in the past it's a family name, and she pronounces it luh-ree-shuh.
This is in the midwest.

Does she have any Dutch or Scandinavian ancestry? It could possibly be an Americanisation of Lauritia, which in the Netherlands and Scandinavia is the feminine form of Lauritius, itself a (medieval) latinisation of Laurits (all) and Lauritz (only Denmark and Norway). At least as a Dutch name it is fully archaic now, whilst the masculine counterpart Laurits barely survives and was never common to begin with. Even the patronymic surname Lauritsen is hanging by a thread over here.

What’s her ethnicity? Is she white, Hispanic, something else? That helps to narrow down possibilities.

Oh, sorry-- she and her family are white. When googling I did come across others who've had the name, the oldest I found was late 1800s. Not sure of their ethnicity.
