Anora

Anora is a proper noun used chiefly as a feminine given name and, in some cases, as a toponym in fictional settings. In onomastics, Anora is often treated as a variant of Nora or Honora, with possible roots in the Latin word honor meaning “honor.” The spelling variant Anora reflects contemporary naming practices that favor distinctive phonetics.

As a given name, Anora is used in several countries, particularly in English-speaking contexts, though it remains less common than more traditional forms such as Nora. It appears in baby-name lists and personal-name databases as a modern or creative option.

In fiction and popular culture, Anora is also used as the name of fictional places, characters, or organizations in fantasy novels, games, and media. When used as a toponym, it does not refer to a real-world location and typically denotes a city, region, or realm within a created universe.

Notable people named Anora are not widely documented across major reference works; the name is more commonly encountered in fictional contexts or as a variant in smaller communities.
