nawra

Nawra is a feminine given name of Arabic origin used in Arabic-speaking communities across the Middle East and North Africa.

The name is derived from the Arabic root nur (نور), meaning light. The form nawra is often understood as radiance or glow, and it is related to other names such as Noura, Nour, and Noor. Transliteration and spelling vary by country and script.

Common spellings include Noura, Nour, Noor, Nourah, Nurah, and Norah; Nawra can appear as a transliteration variant in some contexts. The name is frequently chosen for its positive associations with light, brightness, and guidance.

In Arabic naming practices, light- or glow-related names are common and may reflect family hopes for illumination in the bearer's life. The name is also used by Arabic-speaking communities in diasporas around the world.

Notable people with the given name Nawra are relatively few, and the name is primarily used as a personal given name rather than a geographic or organizational name.
