Meora

מֵאוֹרָה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: light

• Meora draws its meaning from the Hebrew word for "light" or "luminary," the same word used in Genesis to describe the great lights of creation, the sun and the moon. It is a name rooted in the very first chapter of the Torah, connecting your daughter to the cosmic act of bringing light into existence. That origin gives Meora a spiritual grandeur that feels both timeless and thrillingly expansive.

  Picture this name on a birth announcement and you'll feel the celestial sparkle — Meora feels both ancient and futuristic, like a name plucked from Genesis but perfectly at home in 2026. It offers a gorgeous alternative for parents drawn to popular light names like Liora or Nora but wanting something more rare. With its sleek three-syllable flow and cosmic meaning, Meora truly stands apart.
