Objevte lidi se jménem Norah Sawers

Norah stems from the name Honora. Honora itself comes from the Latin word *honor*, meaning "honor" or "dignity." The shift from Honora to Norah involves a process called apheresis, where the initial sound or syllable of a word is dropped. In this case, the "Ho-" was removed, leaving "Nora," and then "Norah" with the addition of an "h." This kind of shortening was common in the development of many English names. Honora, and subsequently Norah, first appeared in Ireland. It was a relatively common name there for centuries. The name spread to England and other English-speaking countries, particularly during the 19th century. Its popularity has fluctuated, experiencing periods of greater and lesser use. Nora is a common variant, and Noreen is a diminutive form, often used in Ireland.
