Eleanore

Eleanore is an English feminine name, an elaborated spelling variant of Eleanor, which derives from the Old French form of the Occitan name Aliénor, whose precise roots remain debated — possibilities include a Latinization of Helen or a Germanic compound meaning foreign and army. The name gained wide currency in medieval Europe largely through Eleanor of Aquitaine, the influential twelfth-century queen consort of both France and England. Related forms include Eleonora, Elinor, Leonora, and Elena.
