Elienore Origin and Meaning

The name Elienore is a girl's name.

Elienore is a rare feminine name that serves as a variant of Eleanor or Eleonore, with French and Germanic roots. The name derives from the Occitan name Aliénor, which evolved from the Latin 'alia Aenor' meaning 'the other Aenor.' Historically, Eleanor of Aquitaine, a powerful 12th-century queen consort of both France and England, helped popularize the name throughout Europe. Elienore maintains the elegant, aristocratic quality of Eleanor while offering a distinctive spelling. The name has never been common in English-speaking countries, making it an uncommon choice that carries a sense of refinement and classical beauty while standing apart from more popular variants like Eleanor, Elinor, or Eleanora.
