Meaning & origin
Glora is a rare and unusual name that appeared in the United States in the early 20th century, with its peak year recorded as 1929. The name likely originated as a variant or respelling of Gloria, the Latin word for 'glory,' which became popular in the early 1900s. However, Glora never caught on broadly; its trajectory has been stable and it has never ranked in the U.S. top 1000. The name's obscurity means it has no recorded top states or notable bearers. For parents seeking a distinctive alternative to the classic Gloria, Glora offers a unique sound with familiar roots.
