The baby name Liorah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced LEE-OH-rah (IPA: /liˈɔːrə/ or /liˈoʊrə/).
Liorah is Hebrew in Origin.
Liorah is the Hebrew feminine form built from li (“to me”/“my”) + or (“light”) with the feminine -ah, yielding the luminous meaning “my light,” “I have light,” or “light for me.” It is commonly spelled Liora in Israel (Hebrew: ליאורה), while the final h in Liorah reflects an English transliteration of the Hebrew feminine ending. Pronounced lee-OR-uh or LEE-oh-rah, it carries warm, radiant connotations in Jewish tradition.
Usage is largely modern: the name rose with the revival of Hebrew in the 20th century and is well established in Israel, appearing more selectively in diaspora communities. In the United States, the Anglicized Leora saw early‑20th‑century use, while Liorah/Liora have gained quiet contemporary traction. Related forms and variants include Liora, Leora, Leorah, the unisex Lior, Orli/Orly, and the longer Eliora (“my God is my light”).
