Leora

Leora is a Hebrew name derived from the elements 'or,' meaning 'light,' and 'li,' meaning 'to me.' The name can be interpreted to mean 'light to me' or 'my light.'

In the Hebrew tradition, light is often associated with knowledge, wisdom, and divine revelation. The name Leora may have been chosen to symbolize the idea of the child being a source of enlightenment or guidance for the parents.

Leora is a relatively uncommon name, but it has been used in various Jewish communities for centuries. It has a soft, melodic sound and a meaningful origin, which may appeal to parents seeking a name with a rich cultural heritage.

While Leora is a traditionally feminine name, its meaning is not gender-specific, and it could potentially be used for either gender, though it is more commonly given to girls.
