  1. Zipora
    • Description:

      Zipora is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, an alternate spelling of Zipporah, who was the wife of Moses in the Bible. The name derives from the Hebrew word 'tzippor' meaning 'bird' or 'sparrow,' symbolizing freedom and grace. While the Zipporah spelling is more common in English-speaking regions, Zipora reflects transliterations used in some European and Israeli communities. The name carries rich biblical heritage while offering a distinctive sound with its strong consonants and rhythmic three-syllable pronunciation. Though uncommon in mainstream usage, Zipora has maintained steady usage particularly within Jewish communities as a connection to religious heritage. The name's meaningful etymology and historical significance offer depth, while its melodic quality provides aesthetic appeal.

  2. Fedora
    • Origin:

      Greek variation of Theodora
    • Description:

      Fedora is occasionally heard among the British Mayfair and Belgravia set, but we're afraid that in this country there would be too strong an association with the man's felt hat.
  3. Onnora
    • Description:

      Onnora is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Honora or Onora, which ultimately derive from the Latin "honoratus" meaning "honored" or "respected." This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a more distinctive, slightly exotic appearance while maintaining its elegant sound. The name carries connotations of dignity, integrity, and high esteem. Onnora remains quite uncommon in most English-speaking countries, making it an attractive option for parents seeking something unique yet historically grounded. The double 'n' creates a visual interest while potentially emphasizing the central syllable in pronunciation. The name has a melodic quality with its flowing vowels and soft consonants, creating an impression of grace and refinement.

    • Secora
      • Description:

        Secora is a feminine name of uncertain origin, possibly a variant of Secorra or a creative modern invention. It has a melodious quality with its flowing syllables. Some theories suggest it may be related to the Spanish word "socorro" meaning "help" or "relief," though this connection isn't definitively established. The name has a contemporary feel with classical undertones, making it appeal to parents seeking something unique yet accessible. While rare in mainstream naming statistics, Secora has seen occasional usage in the United States since the late 20th century. Its distinctive sound and spelling give it a memorable quality while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce and spell.
