Meaning & Origin

Khamora is a three-syllable girl's name with a open, warm sound — a soft ending that crosses many language boundaries. With only 184 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.

In the most recent SSA release, Khamora ranks #7760 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.

Khamora is a girl's baby name of American origin, a creative variant drawing on Camara (an African surname meaning 'teacher' or 'healer' in Mandé tradition) or Tamara (from Hebrew, meaning 'palm tree') with the Kh- opening giving it a distinctive, slightly Arabic-influenced visual identity.

Warm and melodic, Khamora has the flowing -mora ending that gives the name a Mediterranean or African warmth — a name that arrives with both culture and melody already built in.
