Eleanor

English Etymology The first known bearer was Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122–1204), en oc-pro Aliénor, perhaps from en la alia other and her mother's name Aenor, its meaning thereby said to be “the other Aenor”. This Aenor seems to come from earlier la Adenordis, which might be some corruption of la Adamardis, feminine form of Ademar or la Adamarus, from en gmw-pro *Audamār, from the en gem-pro - elements gem-pro *audaz riches + gem-pro *mēraz fame. An en ar - origin from ar نُور light has also been suggested. Eleanor has often been erroneously interpreted as a variant of Helen. More at Eleanor on Wikipedia. Also see Aenor.
