What is the meaning of the name Debora ?

The baby name Debora is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced DEB-ə-rah (English: /ˈdɛbərə/),deh-BOH-rah (Italian/Spanish: /deˈbɔra/).

Debora is Hebrew in Origin.

Debora is the Italian and Iberian form of the biblical name Deborah, from Hebrew D’vorah (דְּבוֹרָה), meaning “bee.” The image of the bee conveys industry, vitality, and cooperative strength. In the Hebrew Bible, Deborah is a prophetess and judge who leads Israel to victory and composes a triumphant song, lending the name associations with wisdom, leadership, and poetic eloquence.

While Deborah and Debra surged in English-speaking countries - especially among 20th‑century American parents inspired by Puritan revival of Old Testament names - Debora without the final h found greater traction in Italy from the late 20th century, and as Débora in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking regions (French uses Déborah). Related forms include Deborah, Debra, Devorah, and Déborah; nicknames span Deb, Debs, Debbie, and Debby. Today Debora feels classic yet cosmopolitan, bridging ancient roots with streamlined modern style.
