The meaning of the name Ori in Hebrew is “my light”. The origin of it is in the word “Or” which means light. It was given for me by my parents who tried to bring a child to the world for a long time and they say that when I was born I was their light. My last name “Maior” and I am not sure what is the meaning of it. When I first arrived to the US it was strange to hear people pronouncing my name. I think it’s hard for Americans to pronounce the “R” the same as I used to hear it here in Israel. But I was never embarrassed because of it. I never adopted a new name because I love my name.
