History & Origin
Genora has no single settled origin. It most likely echoes Genoa, the Italian city, or was coined from the popular Gen- sound joined to an -ora ending, in the era's fashion for melodic invented girls' names. Rather than assign a false etymology, we read it as a place-inspired coinage.
Genora was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at a faint peak around the early nineteen-thirties, with a long thin trail. A woman named Genora from that time belongs to a great-grandparent generation now.
