Pronunciation

uh-LOR-uhListen

Alora is pronounced uh-LOR-uh, and its background is a bit of a mixed bag: it's often assumed to be a spin on Aurora, meaning 'dawn,' but that link doesn't actually hold up in Wiktionary or Wikipedia. Instead, it's more consistently traced as a variant of Elora, with separate threads in Spanish and in Bantu-language naming as well. That uncertain, blended background suits a name that reads as clean and modern while still carrying a storybook softness.
