Meaning & origin
Dvora, the Hebrew form of Deborah, has never reached the U.S. top 1000, remaining a rare but culturally significant name with recorded use since 1956. Its peak year was 1973, reflecting modest but consistent usage. The name is borne across Jewish communities, maintaining a stable presence over the decades. While not statistically popular in the U.S., Dvora carries deep historical and religious weight, tied to the Biblical prophetess and judge.
Dvora is the modern Hebrew form of the Biblical name Deborah, derived from the Hebrew word 'd'vorah' meaning 'bee'. In the Old Testament, Deborah was a prophetess and judge who led the Israelites to victory. The name has been used among Jewish communities for centuries and remains a classic Hebrew name.
