Amora origin and meaning

Modern American, built on Latin amor

Uncertain — apparently an elaboration of amor, Latin for 'love'; amora is also the Portuguese word for blackberry, but that is probably coincidence

Amora appears in US data only from 2004 and has climbed every few years since, reaching its peak at #249 in 2025. It belongs to the family of love-themed elaborations around Amara, Amor and Amaya, none of which give it an ancient pedigree. Its appeal is its romantic sound rather than a documented history.

Origin uncertain

Amora is a 5 letter name with 3 syllables.
