Adore is an English word name meaning "to love deeply" or "to worship", from the Latin adorare. It belongs to the small group of affectionate word names, like Cherish and Love, that some American parents choose for their directness. Adore was barely used in 2000, climbed through the 2010s to a peak of number 1612 in 2022 and ranks number 1777 among girls' names in 2025.
