ArchivesRe: The Manifold Meanings of "Eleanor"
in reply to a message by Danielle
Maybe it's from Arabic - Al-Nour – Light
https://quranicnames.com/eleanor/
"Eleanor is an indirect Quranic name for girls. It means light, radiance, it is a variant of El-Nour, which is a common pronunciation of Al-Nour (light)... The historical origins of this name in the Western world are not clear, but it is possible that it entered in the West’s vocabulary through the Islamic civilization in Spain."
