Origin:Arabic
Meaning:Light, brightness
Noor is a gender-neutral name of Arabic origin. Meaning "light" and "brightness," this name is meant to let baby's spirit shine from day one. It's also ideal you think baby deserves the royal treatment as there are various monarchs that share the name, including Jordanian Princess Noor bint Asem and Queen Noor of Jordan. If its clean, one-syllable sound doesn't seem right, then parents can look at Noor's alternative forms, including the girl's name Nura and the boy's name Nuri.
