Gender Feminine
Meaning & History
Possibly derived from Aramaic dinur (also denur) meaning "of fire", derived from di "of" and nur "fire, light". Because of the similarity with the Hebrew word din "trial, judgement", this name is sometimes seen as a more elaborate form of the name Dinah.
A known bearer of this name is retired Brazilian actress Dinorah Marzullo (b. 1919). In Popular Culture, this is also the name of a 1859 French opera, so named after a character in that opera.
