Jorah
Meaning of Jorah
Jorah carries the gentle promise of autumn rain straight from its Hebrew roots—yo-RAH—where it speaks of “early rain” that nurtures the earth. In English—JOR-uh—it feels both fresh and familiar, like a soft breeze after a long summer. Though it’s never crowded the top of the charts (hovering around rank 900 in the U.S. with roughly 20–35 newborns each year), that rarity only adds to its understated charm. Pop-culture aficionados might smile at a nod to the steadfast Jorah Mormont from Game of Thrones, but even without dragons in the picture, the name evokes loyalty, resilience, and a quiet kind of courage. Warm and inviting, Jorah is perfect for parents seeking a name that’s both lyrical and lightly adventurous—an inspirational choice that will grow with its bearer, rain or shine.
