What does the name Norah mean?
Norah is a variant of Nora, says Behind the Name, which began as a short form of Honora or Eleanor, which ties it to a large family of names, from Leonora and Lenore to Ellen. In Irish the forms are Nóra and Norah, and Henrik Ibsen gave the name to the heroine of his play A Doll’s House (1879).
Norah nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name lists Nonie as an English diminutive and Noreen and Nóirín as Irish ones, with Nora, Nell, Ellie and Lenore among the variants.
