History & Origin

Secora reads as a modern American coinage rather than an inherited name. Some hear in it the Spanish segura, 'safe or sure,' but no clear tradition supports that link, and it is best understood as a name chosen for its warm, flowing rhythm.

It appears only faintly, given to around twenty girls a year at its high in the mid-two-thousands with occasional use since. A girl named Secora then is in her late teens or twenties today.

Did you know? Secora is one of many gently invented girl's names of its era whose appeal is purely in the sound, with no documented meaning behind it despite the reassuring echo of 'secure.'
