Re: The feminine name Theora.
Theorein means "to watch" in Greek, but I don't know, whether it's a Greek name. Hebrew? I doubt it. There is a verbal root Tav-Aleph-Resh, to bend, but this does not give a good name giving motive, I am afraid. There is also a noun te'ura (Tav-Ayin-Resh), affirmation, heavenly testimony. This would make some sense, but I don't think, it's a name.
