Annora
Meaning of Annora
Annora, a feminine name deriving from the Latin honor through the medieval variant Honora, embodies a conceptual lineage anchored in the notion of esteem—a lineage that intersected both the ecclesiastical veneration of Saint Honora and the humanistic revivals that sought to reclaim classical virtues. Examination of United States naming statistics reveals that its presence, while marginal, has been persistent: intermittent registrations of five newborns in select years between 1927 and 1940 (ranks in the mid-500s) gave way to a measurable resurgence in the 2010s, culminating in 100 occurrences in 2017 (rank 859) and stabilising at 41 births (rank 909) in 2024. This trajectory of cautious ascendancy corresponds with an Anglo-American predilection for appellations that integrate historical gravitas and contemporary distinctiveness. Pronounced an-NOR-uh (/ænˈɔrə/) within standard English phonological conventions, Annora projects a precise formality, rendering it particularly suited to those who prioritise structural clarity and inherited dignity in their naming choices.
