1900 census:
8 Antora, all in northern Norway. (And 2 boys named Antor.)
Example: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1900/f01840.wc2&variabel=0&postnr=779&fulle=true&spraak=n

1865 census:
6 Antora, all in northern Norway. (And 1 girl named Antorine.)
Example: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1865/f61849.wc2&variabel=0&postnr=1725&fulle=true&spraak=n

1801 census:
No Antora, 1 Antorine.

Don't think that it actually has any meaning, but perhaps inspired by ON Arnþorr?
