Norah

Norah is an anglicized form of the Irish name Nóra, itself a short form of Onóra, the Irish rendering of the Latin Honoria, derived from honor meaning esteem or dignity. The name has been used in Ireland for centuries and gained broader popularity in the English-speaking world during the nineteenth century. Notable bearers include the jazz pianist Norah Jones, who helped bring fresh attention to the name in the early twenty-first century. Related forms include Nora, Honoria, and Honora.
