Tora

Meaning of Tora

Tora leaps into the spotlight like a playful monsoon breeze—unisex, spirited, and utterly unforgettable. In Japanese, Tora means “tiger,” conjuring images of amber eyes and fearless prowls at sunset; in Hebrew it whispers echoes of Torah, “teaching” or “guidance,” as if each syllable carries a gentle lesson. Pronounced TOH-rah (/toʊrɑ/), it rolls off the tongue like warm chai, bridging continents in a single breath. Though still rare in the U.S.—just nine newborns claimed it in 2024, landing at No. 941—its steady heartbeat through the decades hints at growing appeal. Picture proud Indian parents decorating a nursery with tiger motifs and lotus blooms, imagining their little one weaving strength and wisdom into every step. Tora isn’t just a name; it’s a vibrant tapestry, a roar and a hymn woven into one.
