Meaning & origin

Diora is a modern feminine name that first entered the U.S. Social Security records in 2002, and its usage has steadily climbed since 2004. As of 2025, it ranks 4,758 with an incidence of about 1 in 57,402 births, marking its peak year so far. The name likely draws inspiration from the French fashion house Dior or combines popular name sounds. It has no documented historical roots, placing it firmly in the category of modern coinage. While it has not yet cracked the top 1,000, its upward trajectory suggests growing appeal among parents seeking a stylish and distinctive name.

Diora first appeared in U.S. records around 2002.

The name has no established meaning outside of its modern coinage.
