Naura is a feminine given name most commonly traced to Arabic nawrah/nawra, “flower” or “blossom,” a word found in classical lexicons for the first bloom of spring. As a personal name it gained wider currency in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially in Muslim-majority Southeast Asia, where Malay and Indonesian forms Naura and Naurah are popular. Many speakers also associate it with Arabic nūr, “light,” due to overlap with names like Nura/Noura/Noora, though the roots are distinct.

Usage today is strongest in Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia - where public figures such as singer Naura Ayu have boosted its profile - while it remains less common in the Arab world than Noura. Variants and spellings include Naurah, Nawra, and Nawrah; related names by meaning include Zahra (“flower”) and Wardah (“rose”). The name conveys images of freshness, beauty, and gentle radiance.
