Hiii same person who originally commented. I love my name now! It’s unique and while it’s hard to pronounce for those who are not Spanish speakers, it’s still a cool name and I’m proud of my name. All Isauras are swag btw.
Also used in Romania (you'll find bearers on social media).

Hi everyone, I'm Isaura. When I was a child I always hated my name because since I'm Italian, no one knew how to pronounce it, but now I really appreciate it since it's really unique. I want to become a dancer and/or a singer in the future and I hope people will find my name pretty unique.
Another Isaura here! As a child I just wanted a ‘normal’ name but... as an adult, I love having a unique name. My mother and great Aunt are who I share my name with and the older I get, the more I appreciate it and fondly remember the 3 Isa’s being together. But, shhh... don’t tell too many people! Lol.
My name is Isaura! I’m Spanish. I added two a’s to my user name because.. I can. Sometimes I don’t really like my name because it’s unusual but sometimes I like it because of that. I usually don’t like it because people don’t know how to say my name, and do it on purpose. I get it, you’re not Spanish but you don’t have to say my name 100 billion times wrong. “Hey E-Soda” some people say. ”REEEEEEE” Isaura goes into battle mode.
Izora is likely an English variant of Isaura. Izora was the 517th most popular name for girls born in the United States in 1880. A famous bearer was Izora Armstead (1942–2004), who was half of the '80s American pop group The Weather Girls, best known for their single "It's Raining Men".
I believe the Spanish pronunciation is ee-SOW-rah.I think it could easily work as an English name, like Lydia, which has similar origins. An English-speaker would probably pronounce it i-ZAWR-ə or ie-ZAWR-ə. [noted -ed]
Isaura is the name of a city in Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities". It is said to be the city of a thousand wells.
