Ororo
Ororo Munroe is the real name of X-Men's Storm. I'm wondering if Ororo is an actual given name or if it's a Marvel creation. If it is real, what is its origin? There are a couple user submitions here: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/view.php?name=ororo but I'm quite wary of trusting them.Any info would be cool :)

I wonder why it looks as thoughIt could be a respelling of the French "aurore" (pron o-RHOHRH) with an extra "-o" appended...though I very much doubt this to be true.

I'd thought of that, too.I did a basic Google search and a couple of the iffier naming sites mentioned that it could be African, but absolutely no other details were mentioned. The African thing seems to fit with Ororo's character description: http://www.marvel.com/universe/Munroe,_Ororo_(House_of_M)
