Lora

Lora is an English given name functioning as a variant spelling of Laura, which derives from the Latin laurus, meaning laurel tree or laurel wreath. In ancient Rome the laurel was a symbol of victory and honor, associated with poets and heroes. The name has been in use across Europe since the medieval period, carried in part by the popularity of the Italian poet Petrarch's idealized beloved, Laura. Related forms include Laura, Laurel, Loretta, and Lora's Germanic cognate Lore.
