Avonmora is in Origin.

Avonmora blends Celtic river lore with a lyrical feminine ending. Avon derives from Brittonic abona “river,” the source of many British river names, while -mora echoes Irish mór/more “great,” as in the Irish place-name Avonmore (Abhainn Mhór, “great river”). The final -a feminizes the form, yielding a meaning often glossed as “great river” or “from the great river.” A parallel, less likely reading connects it to Avona, a Latinized river-name used in Roman Britain.

As a given name, Avonmora is a very rare modern coinage, appearing in recent decades amid Celtic-revival and fantasy-leaning naming styles rather than in historical parish records. Related forms and creative variants include Avonmore (unisex place/surname), Avona, Avonora, Avanmora, and the streamlined Avonra; cognates by element include Mór (medieval Irish) and Morag (Scottish Gaelic) meaning “great”. The name carries liquid, nature-rich imagery with an old-world, storybook feel.
