Debora Origin and Meaning

The name Debora is a girl's name.

Debora is the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian form of Deborah, a name with ancient Hebrew origins meaning 'bee.' In the Old Testament, Debora (Deborah) was a respected prophetess and judge who helped lead the Israelites to victory. The name carries connotations of wisdom, leadership, and industriousness—qualities associated with bees. While the anglicized Deborah peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, the Debora variant maintains popularity in Latin countries and among Hispanic communities. This spelling gives the name a slightly softer, more melodic quality than its English counterpart. Debora blends biblical heritage with a touch of Mediterranean or Latin flair, making it appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth but distinctive international character.
