Ellanor Origin and Meaning
The name Ellanor is a girl's name.
Ellanor is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Eleanor, which derives from the Provençal name Aliénor, potentially meaning 'other Aenor' (Aenor being a common feminine name in the Middle Ages). This particular spelling adds a distinctive touch to the classic name while maintaining its elegant, regal qualities. Eleanor itself has ancient roots, famously borne by Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful women in Western European medieval history. Ellanor combines traditional sophistication with a slightly unconventional spelling, appealing to parents who want a recognizable name with a unique twist. The double 'l' gives the name a flowing, graceful quality while maintaining the connection to its noble heritage.
