Amora
Meaning
modern name based on 'amor', the Latin/Romance word for love
The story
Amora is love engineered: the Latin and Romance amor finished with the -a that makes it a girl's name at a glance, as our records read it plainly, a coinage in the same workshop that produced Alora two batches back. The record is young: about 480 in the 2000s, 3,200 in the 2010s, and already 5,700 so far this decade, well past the full total with years to run. One figure is absolute: across the whole record, not one boy, 9,400 girls to zero. It rises beside Amara, its established sister, the two charting separately while sharing the warm open center. The word means love in half a dozen languages before the certificate is even filed; the coinage just signs it, and the record shows thousands of families a year co-signing.
