Norah

Norah is a name with candle-warmth. An Anglicized form of the Irish Nóra, itself a short form of Honora from the Latin for "honor," it gained a musical glow when Norah Jones released Come Away with Me in 2002 and won eight Grammys. The American charts responded; Norah has sat inside the top 250 ever since, climbing higher in the Noah-adjacent era. Two syllables, the open O giving it depth, the final H a quiet flourish. Norah feels like an old farmhouse kitchen at dusk, warm windows and a kettle on. Understated, graceful, and thoroughly at ease.
