Eleanor
Eleonore is a female first name.
Origin and Meaning
The meaning of the name Eleanor is unclear. The first known bearer of the name is Eleanor of Aquitaine. Her real name was AENOR, however, to distinguish it from her mother, she was in her Occitan ( poitevinischen ) mother tongue Eleanor ( "the other AENOR " ) called. Eleanor was then in the Oïl languages and in English to Eleanor.
As the importance of AENOR remains unknown, one finds on the importance of Eleanor often " the other".
Sometimes the name is also associated with the Greek eleos " mercy, compassion " in conjunction. In Arabic, there is also the similar sounding name Allahu Nuri ( modern form: Nurullah ), the "God is my light " means.
