Meaning & origin
Anorah is a modern American name that has been slowly rising in popularity since it first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2009. By 2025, it reached its peak rank of 5,410, with 1 in 69,881 babies given the name that year. The name is most commonly found in Florida, which accounted for the highest number of Anorahs born in recent years. Its climb mirrors the trend toward soft, feminine names ending in '-a' and may draw inspiration from established favorites like Nora and Anora. While still uncommon, Anorah appeals to parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar-sounding name.
Anorah is a modern American coinage, likely formed by combining the prefix 'An-' with the popular name Nora. Nora itself derives from Honora, an English name meaning 'honor,' or from the Irish name Onóra. Alternatively, Anorah may be a creative spelling variant of the biblical name Hannah. The name first appeared in U.S. birth records in the 2000s.
