Shacora
Shacora Origin and Meaning
Shacora appears to be a modern feminine given name that emerged in the United States during the latter part of the 20th century. The name may be a creative formation combining the popular prefix 'Sha-' (which became common in American naming patterns from the 1960s onward) with 'cora,' which has classical Greek origins meaning 'maiden' and has been used as a name since the 19th century. Alternatively, it could be a variant of names like Shakira or Shakara. Usage records indicate Shacora has never been among the most common names but appeared with increased frequency during the 1980s and 1990s. The name exemplifies the trend toward melodic, multi-syllabic feminine names with distinctive sounds and spellings that characterized certain naming practices in late 20th century America.
