I’ve been reflecting on something lately that I know a few others have noticed because it’s been brought to my attention. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t know about it. It’s been weighing heavily on my mind.
For years, I’ve worked tirelessly to build my presence, not primarily to attract clients for my services, but to inspire people to awaken and view life through a lens of beauty, enlightenment, and grace. I began my journey informally in 2008 getting irradiated and finishing college, officially launched my business in 2012, debuted on YouTube in 2013, and started gaining traction in the mainstream algorithm by 2014.
Back then, names like Alura, Alora, or Elora weren’t common at all. In 2013, according to baby name statistics from Nancy’s Baby Names (sourced from the Social Security Administration), only 184 baby girls in the U.S. were named Alora, with no male births registered under that name.
Nowadays Alura’s Angels has 625k views. Spiritually Awkward has 38.7k views. Church of I.M blog has 76.8k views. These numbers from all time from when I began them in 2015, yet some of the information was imported from my blogger sites World of Soul Types and Starseed Children.
Fast forward to today: some of my videos have nearly 700,000 views, and my YouTube channel should have reached around 4 million by now. I was at that milestone back in 2018, but an algorithm reset changed how views were counted, dropping it to just 1 million. Even so, that’s still a significant audience. My content has often felt suppressed, perhaps because of my ability to predict trends or events, but I know it was reaching people. From 2014 to 2016, I had more inquiries than I could handle as a solo operation.
Now, looking at my current stats, 700,000 views on YouTube, 30,000 and 20,000 on my blogs, 11K followers on Instagram, and 13K on YouTube, the name has exploded in popularity. Even Kim Kardashian recently named one of her characters “Allora.” I’ve referenced her in my blogs multiple times, and I know her publicity team monitors mentions, positive or negative. It’s clear my name has permeated wider circles.
Over the years, I’ve crossed paths with notable figures through private channels. I won’t name them. It would be rude, unless they became public follower anyway.
But for example, a long time ago, I did a reading for the wife of a Dawson’s Creek cast member (I won’t name names to respect confidentiality). I’ve also had inquiries from famous individuals via email, including one of many secretaries from Obama’s office during his last term, and even someone from Monsanto after I mentioned them in a Blogspot post. There have been others, but I’ve never boasted about it, it’s not my style, and most wouldn’t publicly admit consulting a psychic anyway.
The point is, since entering this field, my name has surged in recognition. A young man in my community who’s into drag has others in his circle who have adopted it for their shows, and now with Kim’s character, it’s gaining even more traction. Although it’s spelled in different ways, it’s the same name and not one I’ve heard or seen used very much prior to my using it. Even with my version of the spelling, the name Alura was relatively uncommon in 2012 and didn’t even appear in the top 1,000 baby names in the United States, meaning it was used for fewer than 5 babies! That means that a minimum for being recorded as being registered in public Social Security data. Although my spelling rarer, statistics revealed that variations like Alora and Allura had a significant climb of 1673 places from 2024. Many are using Alura as an alias, even if not their name, a lot on social media including Facebook.
I’ve also been seeing in entertainment like Voltron, AI Bots, and World of Warcraft. Something I also weirdly discovered through a client of mine… is that the name is in DC Comics with Alura-El the mother of Supergirl. That came before my time, and it blew my mind that I never knew that! I wasn’t one to watch a lot of entertainment anyhow, but the Alura-El really resembled my angel name Alariel (Ah-lar-rye-el) but similar like Alari-El. It blew my mind! And it’s embarrassing to mention but since we’re on the name regarding entertainment- there’s an adult film star named Alura too. I only know this because of the countless fans that she has that are obsessed with her that have looked her up, and found me instead because of how rare the name is with both of us having it, that I’ve literally had people make accounts with her name and follow me, just to mock me. no events to her or anything, but what white contrast! One in world of entertainment, that I would never ever condone, versus my name, the same name in a world that is completely opposite to her, mine surrounding righteousness and God. I’m not saying she doesn’t have a belief in God or anything, but definitely weird . The even stranger thing is that many of these characters are blonde too!
This goes beyond entertainment. The name has also come up in popularity with Alura Business Solutions (2005 before my launch), Alura Online (technology courses), Alura Technologies, Alura Software (cloud based platform), and Alura.IO (etsy shop sales solutions). That is really crazy!
I just kept digging! There’s even Alura a few small places in India that include several small villages, in Gujarat (Navsari, Surat districts) and Karnataka (Bidar district), but also refer to Alura, a village near Ellora Caves in Maharashtra, known for its association with the famous UNESCO site!
What’s even more fascinating is that in in the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1983, Ellora Caves are an ancient wonder of human genius which symbolises zenith of rock-cut architecture and intricate sculptures. Spreading across 2 kms, these 34 caves are carved into the basalt cliffs of the Charanandri Hills and date back to 5th century CE to 11th century CE. These caves are a sacred confluence of Buddhism, Brahmanism, and Jainism. The beauty of these caves is demonstrated through their distinct architectural elements like viharas (monasteries), chaityagrihas (sanctuaries), and monolithic temples, each echoing the devotion of three great faiths.
Most of the caves face west, however the Jain group of caves faces south. Out of the 34 caves, Cave Nos. 1 to 12 are devoted to Buddhism, Cave Nos. 13 to 29 are of Brahmanical nature and Cave Nos. 30 to 34 are of Jain affinity.
While the earliest caves (caves 1-12) were excavated between the 5th and 8th centuries CE, Caves 13-29, including the iconic Kailash temple (cave 16), was excavated between the 7th and 10th centuries CE. The final phase saw the excavation of Caves 30-34, between the 9th and 12th centuries CE. This momentous property is a lasting legacy of the wisdom of our forefathers.
The many spellings of the name have been always there. Elora also appeared in the movie Willow, which I hadn’t been aware of until watching it later. They even paired the name with “Danan” like Tuatha De “Danann” in the Celtic period who were a tribe of people said to be demi Gods. The movie was based on magic in which Elora was chosen to bring the kingdoms back to the light after a wicked sorceress had taken over. I had seen the movie once, but never noticed until recent in years. Pretty interesting! A lot of synchronicity there!
Still, the name has never appeared among the ranked names in the U.S. popularity charts.
Recent statistics show Alora climbing rapidly in popularity, ranking around #225-250 in the U.S. for 2024/2025 and listed as a top trending name by HELLO! magazine. Pretty remarkable.
My daughter, Adriel Elora, will likely drop Adriel and go by Elora when she’s older, I already call her that often. It all just goes to show, that I’ve been noticed, even if not publicly celebrated. There’s always some foundation laid down. Like me, I’m Irish like Willow’s reference. I use technology a lot. I once had an etsy store. I am a business owner. I have a lot in common with India as I have a few friends originally from there and I studied their religion among many others, referencing those beliefs alot. I also taught about extraterrestrial, and named dozens of other species out there that were unknown before my channeling the akasha records and communications. I just think it’s pretty cool, the links.
The name Alura means “God is my light” or in some places “Divine Counselor”. What a beautiful way to represent my love of God, being a walking meaning of that!
But with Hollywood embracing the name, will it bring light or darkness to its meaning? That’s the intriguing question. Alura, Allora, Elora… it’s all the same. My only hope is that one day someone with more reach, knowing it’s my name, will help others to know that it is in positive light.
Alura is a name Im proud to have! I hope my little girl honors it too, even with different spelling. 🙏🏻💗🙌
