Honoria is Latin in Origin.
Honoria is the feminine counterpart of the Late Latin name Honorius, from honor, meaning "honor, esteem." Pronounced hoh-NOR-ee-uh in English, it appears in Romance languages as Honoria in Spanish (with silent h) and as Onoria in Italian. Related forms include the English Honor and Honora, French Honorine, Polish Honorata and Italian Onorata, and the Irish Gaelic Onóra; masculine cognates are Honorius and Spanish Honorio.
Attested in Late Antiquity, it was borne by the imperial noblewoman Justa Grata Honoria, sister of Emperor Valentinian III. The name resurfaced in medieval records and gained genteel currency in 18th-19th-century Britain and Ireland, where Annora and Nora developed as variants and diminutives alongside Nonie and Noreen. In literature and popular culture it signals patrician polish (e.g., Wodehouse's Honoria Glossop). Today Honoria is uncommon yet accessible, sharing the virtuous resonance of Grace and Verity while offering a rarer classical profile.
