Adorah is Latin in Origin.
Adorah is a modern feminine given name, most commonly viewed as an elaboration of Adora, ultimately linked to Latin adorare “to adore, worship,” yielding the meaning “beloved” or “adored.” Its -ah ending aligns it with contemporary English spellings (as in Norah or Hannah), while its sound also echoes Romance forms such as French Adorée and Spanish/Portuguese Adora. By association with the Greek name element -dora (“gift”), it sometimes sits alongside Theodora and Isadora in style, even if not etymologically the same.
Usage has been rare in English-speaking countries but is ticking up with the revival of lyrical, virtue-tinged names. Variants and related forms include Adora, Adorée/Adoree, Adorina, and the devotional Spanish Adoración. Short forms Addie, Dora, and Dory are common; Ora is another sleek option. The overall impression is warm and affectionate, for parents seeking a familiar meaning with a distinctive finish.
