The name Orna carries all these meanings while adding a feminine dimension of gentleness, grace, and natural beauty. The letter 'hey' (ה) at the end is not merely a grammatical marker of the feminine form, but also adds a dimension of holiness and spirituality, as the letter 'hey' is one of the letters in God's holy name.
