Meaning & Story

From the Latin adorare, meaning 'to adore' or 'to worship' — a name that means the pet is utterly adored, or one who is worthy of adoration.

Adora is a name that wears its heart on its sleeve — it literally means to be adored, which is either a description of the owner's feelings or a name that became a self-fulfilling prophecy. It has a vintage, slightly theatrical quality that feels both old-world romantic and perfectly modern. Fans of the animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will recognize the name from its heroic protagonist, which adds a pop-culture dimension for the right owner.
