Jinora

Used for a character in the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise, Jinora likely derives from the name Jinorasa, the name of a Buddhist writer and poet, and a reference to the character's knowledge.

Jinorasa is said to mean "essence of victory", combining the Sanskrit elements jina meaning "triumphant, victorious" and rasa meaning "sap, juice, essence". Alternatively, the element -ra can mean "gold" or "to give", creating the meanings "golden victory" or "granting victory" or similar.

Jinora first featured in the US stats in 2014, following the release of The Legend of Korra, part of the Avatar franchise, and has gained unexpected attention in recent years. Given to more than 50 babies in 2023, it ranks similarly to Kami, Leonie, Lenni, Ilaria, and Ivanka.

Pronounced jin-OR-uh.

As of October 2026, Jinora ranked #3740 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2668 in 2022.
