[Facts] I searched Alora under the Search option (m)
I came across a theory that Alora is Latin meaning The Laurel Tree. Do you think this is true?~* Reality is for those who lack Imagination *~

Doubtful.I suppose it could be some sort of bastardization, but I doubt it as the Latin for laurel is Laurus nobilis (in the family Lauraceae).

Thanks :) Im not sure of this meaning. What I seen was Alaura or something like that and someone mentioned that Alora derived from that and that it was latin for laurel but if you have doubts that it is latin for laurel do you have any idea what its orgin or meaning could be? Thanks again.

I would have thought that Alora was a variant spelling of Elora which is arguably either a shortform of Eleanora or a variation of Eliora.
