Naming your little one Leorah could be a lovely way to celebrate the warmth and joy they'll bring to your days. A respelling of Leora or Liora, Leorah may derive from the Hebrew elements li and or, translating to "my light." Unique and ever-vibrant like a shining star, sweet Leorah's inner light will help them be a supportive and encouraging friend to those around them. Some sources link Leorah to Leonora, or its root, Eleanor. Deriving from the Old French name Alienòr or the German Aldenor, Eleanor means "the other Aenor" or "Old North," so don't be surprised if your Leorah knows how to make everyone feel like they belong.
