Debbora
Meaning of Debbora
Debbora is a feminine given name derived from the Hebrew דְּבוֹרָה (D’vorah), meaning “bee,” and functions as a phonetic variant of the more familiar Deborah. Analysis of U.S. Social Security data from 1947 through 1968 shows that Debbora registered modest but steady usage—rising from five newborns (rank 684) in 1947 to a mid-1950s peak of nineteen births (rank 715) in 1955, then tapering back to six births (rank 745) by 1968. Its English pronunciation, deh-BOR-uh (/dəˈbɔrə/), mirrors the biblical original’s stress pattern, ensuring clarity and consistency. Although it never approached the widespread popularity of Deborah, Debbora retains the same connotations of leadership, diligence and community associated with its scriptural namesake. As a result, it offers parents a technically precise spelling, historical depth and a quietly distinctive choice.
