Meaning & origin
Annora, a medieval English variant of Honora, has a history that stretches back centuries. First recorded in the U.S. in 1919, the name remained rare for decades. It reached its peak popularity in 2017, but has since been declining in use. In 2025, it ranked 3,712 and was given to 1 in 40,182 newborns. The name is most common in California and Texas. Annora offers a classic yet distinctive alternative to more familiar names like Nora or Eleanor.
Annora is a medieval English form of Honora, derived from the Latin word 'honor' (meaning honor, dignity). It emerged as a given name in the Middle Ages and was revived in the 19th century, particularly in England. The name saw a modest resurgence in the United States in the 2010s.
