Nore is of Irish origin, derived from the word 'niora' which means 'honour'. It is a unisex name, popular among both boys and girls. The name Nore is often used interchangeably with Nora and Norah, but it has its own unique charm. In literature, it is notably used in George Eliot's novel 'Middlemarch', where the character Nora Brooks plays a significant role.
The name Nore had a gap in popularity between 2003 and 2017, with no recorded births during those years, before resurfacing with six births in 2023.
