How to pronounce Deborra?

d eh b ow r ah

variant of Deborah also pronounced deborra

hebrew; scottish

Female

Deborah, Devorah

bee; prophetess in bible

Deborah is not pronounced D eh B uh ra but has become this because it gets mixed up with Debra; which is a shorter variant and the lazy/easier way of saying Deborah;
Deborah and Debra may mean the same thing but are not pronounced the same - my grandmother named me - she was of Scottish and Hebrew ancestry and this is how she pronounced the name she gave me. I personally hate the confusion because my name is shortened to Debbie which is not my name, and this annoyed my grandmother. I was named after a Jewish relative. Also another variant is Devorah, which is pronounced D eh V or ah. The pronunciation of Deborah as Debra has become commonplace in our modern society but that does not make it correct nor right. If you want to name your child De B uh R ah then name them Debra which is pronounced D eh B ub r ah.

My name is spelled DeBorah and is pronounced De Bo Rah. My nickname is spelled DeBee. It is pronounced De Bee. It is a biblical name for the nurse of Rebekah, as a judge and profittess. She called upon Barak and ordered him to go to battle with the Canaanites. She was a brave and powerful leader. I'm proud of my name and will always be. I am. De Bo Rah.
