HelpThank you but why Norah then?
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
Your explanation is interesting, but I am quite certain that Norah is not a biblical or Hebrew name. So why this extra H there?
My guess is that parents think they make the simple Nora more classy and beautiful by adding an extra H. I think the opposite.
I wonder if we will see Larah, Laurah and Tarah too? As I am certain most people have no idea why Sarah, Hannah, Leah, Susannah etc have the H at end.
