What is the meaning of the name Anora ?

The baby name Anora is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced əˈnɔːrə (uh-NOR-uh),ˈænərə (AN-ə-rah).

Anora is Breton in Origin.

Anora blends medieval roots with cross-cultural resonance. In English, it streamlines Annora, the Middle English and Anglo-Norman form of Latin Honora/Honoria, from honor “honor, esteem,” giving the meaning “honored, honorable.” In Central Asian usage (Tajik/Uzbek), Anora is connected to Persian ānar/anor “pomegranate,” a fruit emblematic of abundance and fertility; some bearers understand the name as “pomegranate blossom.” Pronounced uh-NOR-uh.

Found in medieval records of England and Ireland, the Annora/Honora family of names waned after the 17th century, then revived in the 19th and again in the 21st with the rise of Nora-like choices. Modern parents favor Anora for its clean spelling and vintage grace. Variants and cognates include Annora, Honora, Honoria, Onóra (Irish), and Breton Enora; diminutives and relatives include Nora and Nóra.
