From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leor is an Israeli given name, pronounced [lee-ore]. English spellings vary (including Leeor, Leore or Lior), the Hebrew spelling is 'ליאור' (lamed-yud-aleph-vav-resh).

Leor is a unisex name. Leora is a specifically female version. Orlee is a variation on the same root. These are all common names in Israel.

The literal translation is “to me light". The root "ore" means "light", the prefix "lee" is formed of "le" meaning "to" and "ee" meaning "me". A more natural translation is the imperative "light me up" or even "shine your light on me".
