Lora

Lora is an English given name functioning as a variant spelling of Laura, which derives from the Latin laurus, meaning laurel tree. The laurel was a symbol of victory and honor in ancient Rome, used to crown poets and military heroes. The name gained widespread use in medieval Europe largely through the influence of Saint Laura of Córdoba, a ninth-century martyr. Related forms include Laura, Lara, Laurie, and Loretta.
