Zamoura
A girl's name of Spanish origin with 34 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. girl's names, Zamoura currently holds position #10222. It is known but far from saturated — a name that registers without repeating.
With records spanning 2021 to 2024, Zamoura has a focused history that reflects a particular moment in naming culture rather than a centuries-old tradition.
In the most recent SSA release, Zamoura ranks #10222 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Zamoura is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, a creative variant of Zamora — from the ancient Spanish city whose name derives from the Arabic Azamur or a pre-Roman Berber/Celtic root, possibly meaning 'olive trees.' Zamora was a medieval walled city of great strategic importance in the Reconquista.
Zamoura gives Zamora an additional vowel for a more flowing, melodic sound. For parents drawn to Spanish geographic names with the visual energy of Za-, Zamoura carries the romance of Iberian medieval history in a distinctive contemporary form.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Zamoura is rooted in the Spanish tradition, but its presence in American naming since 2021 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Zamoura’s rarity (34 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
