Zorah

Meaning of Zorah

Zorah (ZOR-uh) comes from ancient Hebrew roots and hints at the beauty of a desert dawn. It’s tied to a storied town where Samson’s tale began. In Slavic tongues, its cousin Zora means “dawn,” so the name feels like a promise of new light and quiet strength. It’s a rare treasure—just a few dozen babies wear it each year in the U.S.—yet it’s easy to say and hard to forget. Zorah wraps little girls in golden warmth and inspires them to shine. With a playful wink to Latin flair, it nods to oro, the Spanish word for gold. For families craving a name as spirited as a morning breeze, Zorah is the spark of dawn you didn’t know you needed.
