Did you know?
- The Latin roots of the name, ad illam hōram, suggest that the name originally meant 'at that hour'.
- While alora is a place name in Spanish, the word allora serves as a common filler or transition word in Italian meaning 'so' or 'then'.
- If you were to say a la hora (with a space) in Spanish, you would be saying 'at the hour', which is a completely different phrase from the town name Alora.
