Meaning and origin of Amora
Amora is an American (modern coinage) and Latin name that is usually said to mean “love”.
Amora is a modern name built from the Latin and Spanish amor, "love," with a feminine -a ending. In Portuguese amora is the word for a blackberry or mulberry, and in Marvel comics Amora is the name of the Enchantress, but its use as a given name mainly reflects the romantic sound of amor. Amora has grown in the United States in recent years along with similar names like Amara and Amari. It is soft, sweet and romantic, and Mora and Amy are possible nicknames.
