I have heard Doralis, but not Noralis. The Latin word for beautiful is "pulchra", so the website was totally wrong. I would guess Noralis is simply a combination of Nora and Lisa. It sounds like a name from Latin America, perhaps Brazil.

Here in Buenos Aires, there is this journalist called Noralis Romano, but we pronounce [noh - rah - LIS] and I guess this name is a contraction between "Nora" and "Lis" (spanish word for "lirio: iris"), also known as "fleur de lis". Hope it helps.
