Origin: Scottish

Meaning: Prayer; Odd; Occasional

Orra is a feminine name. It may be considered as an alternative spelling of Ora, which in Latin means “prayer.” As such, this is an ideal choice for your little miracle. But Scottish origins would point Orra toward “odd” and “occasional.” Living up to this meaning was Orra White Hitchcock, one of America’s earliest women botanical and scientific illustrators and artists. A woman way ahead of her time, she embraced her interests, odd as they may have been at the time, and relentlessly pursued them. Naming baby Orra can inspire them to do just the same.
