What does the name Amoura mean?
Amoura is a very recent American girls' name, recorded only from 2007. No dictionary we checked documents it. It looks like a feminine-sounding form of French amour, love, but we found no evidence for a traditional name of this form in French or another language. French amour itself goes back to Latin amor, love. Because the source of Amoura is undocumented, we do not give the name a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. Undocumented coinage; the link with French amour is an inference.
