feminine · English origin
Elenora is an English variant of Eleanor, itself derived through Old French Aliénor from the Provençal name Aliénor, whose ultimate origin is debated; one prominent theory connects it to the Germanic elements alja meaning "other" and hari meaning "army." The name was brought to wider European attention by Eleanor of Aquitaine, the influential 12th-century queen consort of both France and England. Elenora is a less common spelling that retains the same sound and lineage as the more standard Eleonora, Eleanor, and Eleanora.
