Honorah
Honorah Origin and Meaning
Honorah is a feminine name of Latin and Irish heritage, representing a variant spelling of Honora or Honoria. The name derives from the Latin word 'honor,' meaning 'dignity' or 'reputation.' In Irish tradition, it appears as Onóra, with Honorah being an anglicized form that maintains some of the original pronunciation elements. The name carries associations with virtue, dignity, and moral integrity. While never extremely common, Honorah enjoyed modest popularity in Ireland and among Irish-American families in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This spelling variation with the final 'h' gives the name a distinctive look while maintaining its traditional sound. The name has a timeless, vintage quality that connects to both Roman classical naming traditions and Irish cultural heritage.
