Nahor
Meaning of Nahor
Nahor is a distinguished male name with deep biblical roots, originating from Hebrew. It is notably borne by two figures in the Old Testament, including Abraham's grandfather and his brother, making it a name rich with historical and religious significance. Pronounced as NAY-hor in English and nah-HOR in Spanish, Nahor carries a robust and resonant sound. Although not commonly used, with only six newborns named Nahor in the United States in 2023, it holds a unique appeal for parents seeking a name that is both traditional and rare. The variation "Nahar" offers an alternative spelling while maintaining the name’s original essence. For those drawn to biblically inspired names with a distinctive flair, Nahor could be a compelling choice.
