Names That Mean Honour
Nora means honour, plainly, and Honor says it without translation. Yoruba names put honour front and centre: Folake is “honour with wealth”, Folarin “walking with honour”, Sade “honour confers a crown”. Add Esme (loved, esteemed), Gloria (glory, honour) and Korean Kyung (respect, honour), and you have a list of names that carry dignity lightly and suit a child who will grow into it. Each comes with its origin and full meaning.
