NEHORAI (נְהוֹרַאי). Aramaic
name meaning "enlightens the eyes." Also see Nehor.
They were wont
to adorn their Rabbins and doctors with swelling and magnificent titles of
Lights.
"Ay tradition. His name is not R.
Meir, but Nehorai. Why, therefore, is he called R. Meir?
Because he enlightens the eyes, by the Traditions of Wise men. And
yet his name is not Nehorai neither, but R. Nehemiah. Why
then is he called R. Nehorai? Because he enlightens the eyes,
by the Traditions of Wise men."—O blessed luminaries without
light! Begone, ye shades of night! for the Sun of righteousness hath
now displayed himself! (The Whole Works of the Rev. John Lightfoot,
Pitman, v.12, 1823)
