Origin and meaning of Nour

Nour comes from the Arabic nūr (نور), 'light, radiance', a word of deep spiritual value, since light symbolises guidance and knowledge. A unisex name borne by both men and women, it often appears in compounds such as Nour al-Din. It is very common throughout the Arab world and growing in France, where it is prized for its soft, essential sound; variants such as Noor and Nur carry it around the world.
