Meaning: (First Rain or Autumn Rain, Biblical: In Israel, at the end of the drought season with the return of the rain, people drop what they are doing and run into the street shouting "Jorah!")
Origin: (Hebrew)
Pronunciation: (JOR-ah, YOUR-ay)
Gender: Uni-Sex
Keeping to the Fall season theme of name I am adding Jorah which I just found. I sort of really like it and it's meaning. I am not sure if the biblical meaning is correct. That is what one site said but I was only able to find four references in my bible to it and I wasn't sure it was a name or a place. I kind of like to think people would drop everything to run outside for the first rain after the drought season. It is a unique rare name and I would love to see it in a novel.
Character Naming
As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.
Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.
Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
Try some of the leading Baby Name Sites and Baby Name or Character Naming books as well.
