I read in a previous thread that Norea is a Swedish name:

Does it have anything to do with the figure named Norea in Gnostic cosmology, or is it from a different source?

Norea was made up as the name of Cain's and Abel's sister by Swedish author Marianne Fredriksson (1927 - 2007) for her book "Children of Paradise" (1985). She took the name from the Gnostic character.
I have seen many meanings for the name; "fire"; "light of the eye" or "beautiful".
