Honoree is Latin in Origin.
Honoree is an Anglicized spelling of the French feminine name Honorée, from Old French honorer and ultimately Latin honor, honoris, meaning “honor, esteem.” It can be pronounced ON-uh-REE in English or on-oh-RAY in French. The sense is “honored one” or “worthy of honor.”
As a given name, forms of Honor go back to medieval Europe: Latin Honoria and Honorius in Rome; Honora/Onóra and Annora in medieval England and Ireland; French Honorine under the influence of Sainte Honorine, and Honoré borne by men such as Balzac. In English, the virtue name Honor/Honour saw Puritan-era use; Honoree surfaces in modern American naming as a stylish, Francophile twist. Related variants include Honorée, Honoré, Honora, Honoria, Honorine, Honor, Honour, Onóra, and Annora. Subtle nicknames include Nora or Nori, though the name stands well on its own.
