🇬🇧 Vanora
/vuh · NOR · uh/
Meaning
“White phantom, via Guinevere”
Old Scottish form of Guinevere, via Wannour/Wannore; first recorded as a given name in the 19th century, though local legend ties it to 'Vanora's Grave' in Meigle, Scotland. Guinevere derives from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar, from Celtic roots meaning 'white' and 'phantom, magical being' - so Vanora carries the underlying sense 'white phantom' or 'white magical being'.

How it ages.
An archaic Scottish name tied to Arthurian legend, unattested before the 19th century and absent from modern popularity charts - a rare, folkloric alternative to Guinevere or Jennifer.
