It is likely derived from the Latin name "Laurentius," which means "from Laurentum," an ancient town in Latium, Italy. The name is closely associated with the city of Laurentum and the Laurentine Shore, where the town was located.

In the early days, the name was often spelled as "Lorenzo" or "Laurentius," with various regional variations across different parts of Italy. Some of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in ancient manuscripts and historical documents from the Italian regions of Tuscany, Lazio, and Campania.

One notable mention of the name Loreno can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Cavensis, a collection of medieval documents from the Abbey of Cava de' Tirreni in Salerno, dating back to the 11th century. This suggests that the name was already in use during that time period in southern Italy.

Among the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Loreno was Giovanni Loreno, a prominent merchant and diplomat from Florence, who lived in the 13th century. Another notable figure was Pietro Loreno, a renowned sculptor and architect from Siena, who was active in the 15th century and contributed to the construction of several churches and palaces in his hometown.

In the 16th century, the name Loreno gained further prominence with the birth of Niccolò Loreno, a celebrated Italian painter and engraver from Treviso. His works can be found in various galleries and museums across Italy and Europe.

Another prominent individual with the surname Loreno was Girolamo Loreno, a 17th-century Italian composer and organist from Naples. He is renowned for his contributions to the development of the Neapolitan opera style and his compositions for the church.
