feminine · English (Rare) origin
Mora is an English given name of uncertain but likely Celtic origin, possibly derived from the same root as the Irish name Móirín, related to the Old Irish word mór meaning great. It may also function as a simplified spelling of Mora, the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Mòr, a traditional name meaning great or large that was widely used in medieval Scotland. The name overlaps with the Spanish word mora meaning mulberry or blackberry, lending it additional associations in Hispanic cultures. Related forms include Morag, Mòr, and Maureen.
