What does Adore mean?
Adore means “To love deeply; to worship”.
Adore is an English word name drawn from the verb meaning to love deeply or to worship. The word came through French from Latin, where its history includes addressing or honoring a deity. Modern English uses it both in religious contexts and for strong affection, giving the name more than one possible personal emphasis.
Addie offers a familiar short form for families who want an everyday nickname alongside the word name. Adora is a nearby form, while names such as Isadora have their own separate origins despite the similar ending. Adore keeps the English verb fully visible, so its meaning is immediately understandable. A family may choose it as an expression of love without intending a specifically religious message.
