Leora stems from the word "Light" in Hebrew. A Leora is a person, generally female, who is unique, adorable, beautiful (and often fairly hot as well), intelligent, caring, and
introspective (without being self-absorbed). Leoras always have something insightful to say, and when they talk, people are always interested in hearing their thoughtful comments.
The original meaning of the word is very fitting, as Leoras are also caring people who truly do bring "light" wherever they go. They brighten the days of others with their sense of both humor and fun, and offer a very special friendship. In fact, a Leora is so wonderful, that people can often be
overprotective of their
relationship with her. This is because they value her friendship to an extremely high degree, and sometimes because they also find a Leora to be exceedingly attractive.
"Oh, did you
speak to that Leora?"
"Yeah! And, as always, I learned
something interesting. Man, she's so smart...I wish I were that brilliant."
"Dude,
have you ever noticed how attractive Leora is?"
"Shut up."
"Wait...you too??"
"I'm warning you - you'd better drop it."
"Puh-lease don't even kid yourself. She's much more interested in a person like me."
"What, you wanna fight it out?"
"Bring it."
