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.
