Adenora

A rare Breton form of Éléonore, Adenora may appeal as an alternative to Adeline, Aurora, and Eleanor. With nicknames Addie and Nora, it makes a distinctive yet familiar option that has never ranked in the US stats.

As with Éléonore, the meaning is debated, but "the other Aenor" is one theory, taken from the Latin phrase alia Aenor, used to distinguish an original Eleanor from her mother Aenor. Another possibility, especially with this form, is that it comes from the Germanic name Adenorde, meaning "ancient north" or "noble north", while it may also be a spin on the Breton Enora, meaning "honor".

Pronounced ad-uh-NOR-uh.
