Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Eleanor je anglická podoba mena pochádzajúceho cez starofrancúzštinu z okcitánskeho Alienòr. Jeho prvotný pôvod a význam nie sú spoľahlivo objasnené. Výklad z latinského alia Aenor, teda „iná Aenor“, sa spája s Eleonórou Akvitánskou a menom jej matky, ale nevysvetľuje možné staršie výskyty. Význam „svetlo“ ani hebrejský pôvod nemožno uvádzať ako overené fakty.
