Alora

Girl name · 66 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Alora is a name of debated origin, most often traced to a beautiful and fitting meaning: "dreamer" or "dawn" in the Basque language, though it also resonates as a modern lyrical variant of the Latin *Aurora*, meaning "goddess of the dawn." It has no widely known historical bearers, but its gentle, melodic quality has appeared in fantasy fiction, most notably for a character in the *Sword of Truth* series by Terry Goodkind. There are no major places named directly for Alora, though the sound echoes places like Alora, a town in Spain. The name is a fresh, twenty-first-century choice rarely seen before 2000, making it a distinctive yet intuitive pick for a little girl.
