Description:
Onnora is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Honora or Onora, which ultimately derive from the Latin "honoratus" meaning "honored" or "respected." This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a more distinctive, slightly exotic appearance while maintaining its elegant sound. The name carries connotations of dignity, integrity, and high esteem. Onnora remains quite uncommon in most English-speaking countries, making it an attractive option for parents seeking something unique yet historically grounded.
