Kemora
Meaning of Kemora
Kemora (pronounced keh-MOR-uh; /kɛmˈɑrə/) is a feminine given name of modern Anglo-American coinage, most likely formed by combining the productive “Ke-” prefix—seen in names like Keira and Kendra—with the Latinate “-mora” suffix found in Eleanora and Tamora. Its precise etymology remains uncertain, but onomastic analysis suggests a deliberate synthesis intended to convey both familiarity and distinction. Since first entering the U.S. Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 in 2000 (six occurrences, rank 894), Kemora’s annual frequency has fluctuated modestly—peaking at 67 births in 2008 and settling around 17–26 births per year more recently—yielding ranks between 888 and 944, including rank 924 in 2024. The name’s steady presence within this narrow band indicates a niche appeal among parents seeking a name that balances uniqueness with structural parallels to established Anglo-American naming patterns.
