Dvora Origin and Meaning

The name Dvora is a girl's name.

Dvora is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, representing a variation of Deborah (Devorah in Hebrew). The name means 'bee' and carries connotations of industriousness, community, and sweetness. In the Bible, Deborah was a respected prophetess, judge, and warrior who led the Israelites to victory, giving the name strong associations with wisdom, leadership, and courage. Dvora maintains the authentic Hebrew pronunciation more closely than the anglicized Deborah, making it particularly popular in Israel and among Jewish families seeking a name with strong cultural roots. While less common in mainstream Western usage, Dvora's straightforward pronunciation and rich historical significance make it an appealing choice for parents looking for a name that balances traditional meaning with a distinctive sound that isn't commonly heard.
