Alora
Meaning
modern coinage, possibly a blend involving Aurora
The story
Alora is a coinage our records trace, with honest hedging, possibly to a blend involving Aurora, and its record shows a name that waited a century for its sound to come into fashion. Flickers of single and double digits run from the 1910s through the 1970s, then the build: about 950 in the 1990s, 1,600, 2,300, and suddenly 6,800 so far this decade, three times the full 2010s with years to run, one of the sharpest current accelerations in these batches. The open vowels place it beside Ailany and the melodic-coinage register, names chosen for music first. One figure is absolute: across the whole record, not one boy, 11,900 girls to zero. Whatever Alora blends, the blend took: a century of flickers, then ignition, and the record catching the exact decade the match struck.
