History & Origin
Elianora is a modern elaboration rather than a historical name. It draws on Eleanor, which reached England through Eleanor of Aquitaine as Alienor, an Occitan name whose meaning has never been convincingly settled, and on Eliana, usually read as Hebrew for 'God has answered me.' Blending them produces a long, ornate five-beat name in step with the current taste for elaborate girls' names. The route is modern and uncertain, which we note (said 'el-ee-uh-NOR-ah').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, ornate, and modern.
