What is the meaning of the name Allorah ?

Allorah is English in Origin.

Allorah is a modern English elaboration of Alora/Allora, shaped by the popularity of -orah endings like Norah and Deborah. Its roots are debated: Alora is frequently treated as a variant of Elora, ultimately from Hebrew Eliora, “my God is my light.” Others connect it to Italian allora (“then; well”), adopted for its mellifluous sound rather than literal meaning, or to the Australian place-name Allora, believed to derive from an Aboriginal term associated with a waterhole. Because of this blend, Allorah is usually given the luminous meaning “the Lord is my light” or “light,” though no single origin is definitive.

Usage is recent, rising in the United States and elsewhere in the 21st century as parents seek fresh alternatives to Elora and Eleanor. Variants and kin include Alora, Allora, Elora, Eliora, Ellora, and Alaura; nicknames range from Allie and Lora to Rory.
