Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

V európskej tradícii sa Nora osamostatnila ako skrátená podoba mien Eleonóra a Honora; pôvod mena Eleonóra nie je spoľahlivo objasnený, kým Honora súvisí s latinským honor – česť, úcta. Samostatne existuje aj arabské meno Nóra, prepisované tiež ako Nura, odvodené od arabského nūr – svetlo.
