Leeora Origin and Meaning

The name Leeora is a girl's name.

Leeora is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Leora, which derives from Hebrew meaning 'light' or 'I have light.' Alternatively, it could combine the popular 'Lee' prefix with 'ora,' Latin for 'prayer' or related to 'gold.' The double 'ee' spelling gives this name a distinctive appearance while maintaining its melodic pronunciation (lee-OR-ah). Though uncommon in mainstream usage, Leeora has appeared sporadically throughout the 20th century, particularly appealing to parents seeking names with spiritual connotations or meaningful origins. The name's connections to light and illumination give it an uplifting quality, while its relative rarity offers uniqueness. Leeora provides the nickname options of Lee or Ora while carrying an elegant, somewhat mystical full form.
