Origin: Latin

Meaning: Prayer; Light

If your prayer for a little miracle has come true, we have a name to celebrate baby’s beloved arrival. The Latin gender-neutral name, Ora, means “prayer” and is a thoughtful choice for your new addition. This name can also be found in other languages, such as Hebrew, where it means “light.” Names with a warm glow are wonderful for little ones born around Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. If you wish to honor the special prayer that came true or baby’s Jewish heritage, Ora is the right choice for you!
