Andora

Andora is a feminine name with multiple possible origins and meanings. It may be a variant of Andorra, the small European country between France and Spain, giving it a geographical connection. Alternatively, it could be related to the Greek name Andromeda, meaning 'ruler of men,' sharing the strong 'andr-' prefix denoting masculinity or strength. Some consider it a feminine form of Andrew or a variation of the name Dora with the prefix 'An-' added. The name has never been widely popular but maintains a steady, under-the-radar presence in English-speaking countries. Andora possesses a romantic, melodic quality with its soft consonants and ending in the feminine 'a.' It appeals to parents seeking an uncommon name with a feminine sound and classical feel without being completely unfamiliar.

Pronounced an-DOR-uh.
