Meaning & Origin of the name Honors

Honors is a virtue name, directly derived from the English word "honors," which signifies respect, dignity, high regard, and integrity. While Honor (without the 's') is more commonly used as a feminine given name, Honors carries a similar powerful message, perhaps emphasizing a multiplicity of virtues or achievements. Virtue names were popular among Puritans who wished to bestow upon their children qualities they valued. Choosing Honors for a child expresses a desire for them to embody noble character, earn respect, and live a life of integrity and distinction.
