Elienor name meaning:

The name Elienor is a variant spelling of Eleanor, which has roots in the Old French name Alienor. The exact meaning of Eleanor is debated among scholars, but it's commonly believed to stem from the Provençal name Aliénor, a form of the Latin name Helena, meaning "light" or "bright." Alternatively, it is thought to be derived from the Germanic name elements "alia," meaning "other," and "Aenor," being the name of Eleanor of Aquitaine's mother, thereby possibly meaning "the other Aenor."

Eleanor, and by extension Elienor, has been borne by many notable women throughout history, including Eleanor of Aquitaine, a powerful and influential queen consort of both France and England in the 12th century. This historical association lends the name a sense of nobility, strength, and independence. The name Elienor, with its unique spelling, might appeal to parents seeking a traditional name with a distinctive twist, embodying qualities of brightness, leadership, and resilience.
