Usually names such as Lora, Laura, and Lauren mean "crowned with laurel leaves." Laurel leaves are traditionally a sign of victory. These crowns were given to the original Olympic winners. So essentially, it means victory and close to nature.
Here's a specific paragraph: your name is a variation of Laura
The girl's name Laura is pronounced LAW-rah, LOR-ah. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "the bay, or laurel plant". In classical times, a crown was made from the leaves of the bay laurel for heroes or victors as a symbol of honor and victory.

Lora is basically another form of Laura.
I once had to look up its origin for my daughter Laura.
It comes from a Latin legend. A companion of Aeneas had to marry a girl of the Laurentii, a tribe living at the beaches near Rome. So he married the first Laura, and in order to give her some nobility, he crowned her with laurel.
Maybe that’s just a nice story. Of course the name is closely connected to laurel and being crowned, as befits a princess!!!
Laura has 59 variant forms: Lauraine, Lauralee, Lara (Russian), Laralyn, Laranca, Larea, Lari, Lauralee, Laurana, Laure, Laureen, Laurel, Laurella, Lauren, Laurena, Laurence, Laurene, Laurentia, Laurentine, Laurestine, Lauretha, Lauretta, Laurette, Lauri, Lauriane, Laurianne, Laurice, Lauricia, Laurie, Laurina, Laurinda, Laurine, Laurita, Laurnea, Lavra, Lawra, Lollie, Lolly, Lora, Loree, Loreen, Loren, Lorena, Lorene, Lorenza, Loretta, Lorette, Lorey, Lori, Lorie, Lorinda, Lorine, Lorita, Lorna, Lorretta, Lorrette, Lorri, Lorrie, Lorry and Lory.
Not so sure whether they are of the same origin:
Lorelle, Lorraine, Leora, Laray, Larae, Larra, Liora, Lowra, Lorra, Lura and Lyra.
Anyway, enjoy your lovely name, Happy New Year, and
you are welcome!

Lora, small corneous cords upon which the base of the proboscis is seated; these parts seem to be intended to let out or draw in the proboscis; when the latter is projected they point towards the mouth, and when it is retracted they point towards the breast; they are "les leviers" of Reaumur.
