Shatora is a coined name rather than an inherited one, formed from the Sha- prefix and a -tora element in the family of Tora and Latora. It belongs to the inventive African American naming of the late twentieth century, prized for its sound over any dictionary meaning.
Shatora was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its late-1980s peak and to roughly a hundred girls in all. A woman named Shatora then is in her mid-thirties today, part of an inventive Sha- naming generation.
