The baby name Honor is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced HON-er (US: AH-ner /ˈɑnɚ/, UK: ON-er /ˈɒnə/).
Honor is English in Origin.
Honor is an English virtue name drawn from Latin honor/honorem, meaning “honor, esteem, dignity,” also connoting public office and moral worth in Roman usage. As a given name it has been used for both girls and boys, though today it leans feminine; the British spelling Honour remains common in the UK and Commonwealth.
Medieval records show Latinized forms Honora and Honoria, the latter borne by a late Roman noblewoman; the masculine cognate is Honorius. In Norman and Irish contexts, Honora/Onóra produced medieval Annora and gave rise to the nickname Nora, widely used in Ireland. The Puritans helped entrench Honor/Honour among early English and Colonial American settlers, aligning with other abstract virtue names. Modern revival has followed broader interest in virtue and word names; celebrity use in 2008 boosted visibility. Variants and related forms include Honour, Honora, Honoria, Onora, Annora; diminutives may be Nora or Noni.
