Eleanore

Eleanore is a variant spelling of the name Eleanor, which is derived from the Old French form of the Provençal name Alienor.

The name Alienor is thought to be a combination of the elements 'ali' meaning 'the other' and 'Aenor', which was a Germanic name composed of the elements 'aina' meaning 'alone' and 'hrod' meaning 'famous'.

Thus, the name Eleanor or Eleanore can be interpreted to mean 'the other Aenor' or 'the other famous one'.

The name has been popular throughout history, particularly in England, where it has been borne by several notable figures, including Eleanor of Aquitaine, a powerful medieval queen.
