Elenora

Elenora is a variant of Eleanor, itself derived through Old French Aliénor from the Occitan name Alienòr, whose precise roots are debated but are most often traced to the Germanic elements alja (foreign, other) combined with a second element possibly meaning work or care. The name gained wide European currency largely through Eleanor of Aquitaine, the powerful twelfth-century queen consort of both France and England. Elenora represents an Italian and Scandinavian spelling influence on the name, blending it with the independently related Greek-derived Helena. Closely associated forms include Eleonora, Eleanor, Elena, and Leonora.
