Honoura is Irish in Origin.
Honoura is a feminine given name deriving from Latin honor, honoris, “honor, esteem.” It reached English through the medieval Latin forms Honora and Honoria and was influenced by Anglo-Norman and Middle English honour; the -our- spelling in Honoura mirrors British orthography. In Ireland it overlapped with the Gaelicized Onóra, helping feed the modern Nora tradition.
The name saw steady use in late medieval and early modern Britain and Ireland, was popular among Anglo-Irish families in the 17th–18th centuries, and enjoyed a modest Victorian revival. Variants and related forms include Honora, Honoria, Honor/Honour, Honorine, Honorina, and Honorata; Irish Onóra appears in historical records, and occasional confusion with Annora occurs though the latter has a separate origin. Common diminutives are Nora, Noreen, and Nonie. Male cognates include French Honoré and Latin Honoratus. Overall meaning centers on “honor,” “respect,” and “dignity.”
