What is the meaning of the name Onur ?

The baby name Onur is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /oˈnuɾ/ (oh-NOOR, stress on second syllable).

Onur is Turkish in Origin.

Onur is a predominantly masculine Turkish given name from the modern Turkish noun onur, meaning “honor, dignity, integrity.” The word entered Turkish in the early Republican period as a borrowing from French honneur, ultimately from Latin honor, and came to stand alongside the older Ottoman term şeref. As a personal name it conveys moral worth, esteem, and pride.

Usage expanded in Turkey in the late 20th century and the name remains common among Turkish communities at home and abroad. While mainly male, it can be used unisex. Variants and related forms include compound names such as Onurcan, Onuralp, and Onurhan, and the adjective-derived Onursal; there is no standard diminutive. Semantically and historically comparable names in other languages are Honor and Honora (English), Honoré (French), and Honorius/Honorio (Latin/Romance).
