Honore Origin and Meaning

The name Honore is a girl's name of French origin.

Honoré is a French feminine name (though also used for males in French culture) derived from the Latin 'honoratus,' meaning 'honored' or 'respected.' With roots dating back to ancient Rome, the name embodies dignity, integrity, and virtue. It gained prominence through notable bearers like the French novelist Honoré de Balzac, though his was the masculine form. As a feminine name, Honoré carries an elegant, sophisticated quality with its French pronunciation (oh-no-RAY) adding a touch of cosmopolitan flair. While consistently used in French-speaking regions, it remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, making it an attractive option for parents seeking a name with historical depth, clear meaning, and cultural refinement without being overly popular.
