A female given name, form of Honora.
Nora or Norah is an Italian, English, Irish, Albanian, Scandinavian and Baltic feminine personal name. It mainly originates as a short form of Honora (also Honoria), a common Anglo-Norman name, ultimately derived from the Latin word Honor (with that meaning). In Hungary, the name Nóra originates as a short form of Eleonóra or Eleanor.
In the Greek language, it means "light"-similar to the Arabic name Noor with the same meaning.
The Irish Nóra is likewise probably an Irish form of Honora. A diminutive form of Nóra is Nóirin; this name has numerous Anglicised forms, such as: Noreen, Norene, Nóinín and Norine.
Nora has been among the most popular girl names in Norway in the 2000s, topping the list of most popular girl names in 2012.
Fem. proper name, Irish, shortened from Honora or Leonora.
Bright one, light, honor.
