What is the meaning of the name LoRuama (f)? I think it's Portuguese (is it?).

This is a Biblical Hebrew name from the prophecy of Hosea (1:6). My ESV spells it Lo-ruhamah. The meaning is "no pity, no compassion."

In Portuguese the letter H is silent so that may be why it was dropped from the spelling.
