History & Origin

Norajane joins two well-worn classics into one word, in the Southern American double-name tradition. Nora shortens Honora ('honour') or Eleanor, while Jane comes from the Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious', by way of the French Jehanne. Written together they make a single name with a homespun, mid-century warmth (said 'NOR-uh-jayn').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, vintage, and double-barrelled.

Did you know? Double names written as one word — Norajane, Bettyjean, Maryann — are a Southern American habit that turns two classics into a single, unbreakable whole.
