Nora as a name
Nora is a popular and timeless female given name of Irish, English, and Italian origin. It is derived from the name Honora, which means “honor” or “honorable” in Latin.
Nora has been used as a standalone name since the 19th century and has consistently been among the top 500 most popular names for girls in the United States. It gained renewed popularity in the early 21st century, perhaps in part due to the popularity of the character Nora in the book and movie “The Time Traveler’s Wife.”
Famous people named Nora include the American actress Nora Ephron, the Irish writer Nora Roberts, and the American singer-songwriter Norah Jones.
