              • Description:

                Jorah, a Biblical name with a lovely nature-related meaning, might make a fresher alternative to the overused Jordan. It's similar to the feminine Nora, Cora, and Laura, but depending on your viewpoint, that may be an advantage.

                Maori, English, Greek

              • Meaning:

                "maiden"

              • Description:

                As the softer-looking Cora of Downton Abbey fame charted highly in the US and the UK, some parents were looking for a way to make this name a little less common, a bit more trendy or far more Germanic by using a "K". We prefer the C version, but Kora is still an elegant name.

                  • Description:

                    Leanora is a feminine name that represents a graceful variation of Eleanor or Leonora. It blends the Greek element 'helē' meaning 'light' or 'bright' with 'nor' possibly derived from Latin 'honor.' The name carries an air of vintage elegance and sophistication. Throughout history, Leanora has maintained a subtle presence, never reaching mainstream popularity but appreciated for its melodious sound and classical feel. The name tends to evoke images of dignity and refinement. In recent decades, as parents seek distinctive yet traditional-sounding names, Leanora has occasionally seen modest revivals, particularly appreciated by those drawn to names with historical depth and a lyrical quality.

                  • Description:

                    A lovely (and uncommon) longer form for Nora, one of the most fashionable international nickname names around. Lenora fell off the US charts in the 70s, but just re-entered in 2022 as parents' love for short forms Leni and Nora is growing.

                  • Origin:

                    Italian diminutive of Eleonora or Eleanor, meaning unknown

                  • Description:

                    Its mellifluous sound makes Leonora--which has a rich history and a tie to the popular Leo names-- a keen possibility for revival. Though it's been hiding below the Top 1000 since the 1940s, Leonora is being rediscovered by stylish parents in the US and Europe.

                    A beautiful Hebrew name that would work perfectly for a child today.
                • Llora

                  • Description:

                    Llora is a delicate feminine name with multiple possible origins. In Spanish, 'llora' is a form of the verb 'llorar' meaning 'to cry' or 'to weep,' though as a name it's likely disconnected from this meaning. It may instead be a variant of Laura or Lora, with the distinctive Spanish 'll' pronunciation. Alternatively, it could be related to the Catalan place name Lloret. The doubled 'l' creates a distinctive appearance and pronunciation challenge in non-Spanish speaking regions. As a personal name, Llora remains exceptionally rare, appealing to parents seeking uncommon names with a musical quality and Spanish or Mediterranean flair. The name has a gentle, flowing sound with its two syllables and liquid consonants creating a melodious impression.
