Origin

1970s: from Sloane Square, London (+ Lone Ranger, the name of a fictitious cowboy hero).

We have one person to credit for calling upper-class young women Sloanes or Sloane Rangers. In 1975 Peter York, style editor on the magazine Harpers & Queen, identified the cultural stereotype of the wealthy, fashionable, but conventional-minded London girls and began writing about them, eventually co-authoring the book The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook in 1982. He coined the name by combining Sloane Square in west London, their home territory, with the masked cowboy hero the Lone Ranger. Her male equivalent is the Hooray Henry, a loud but harmless young upper-class man. He is first mentioned in a story by the US writer Damon Runyon in 1936, as a Hoorah Henry.
