Virtue, dignity, and high respect
Derived from the English word for high respect and moral integrity, it stems from the Old French 'onour' and Latin 'honor'. As a virtue name, it represents a commitment to truth and ethical character. While the 'Honor' spelling is more common in the US, this 'Honour' spelling reflects the traditional British English orthography.
