Eleanora

Eleanora E. Tate is an American author and educator. Notably, she has written books and short stories for children and young adults and also worked as a newspaper reporter.

Eleanora Carus-Wilson (1897 – 1977) was a British economic historian. Known for her work on rural Medieval textile industries in England, she made significant contributions to the understanding of that technology in the region.

Eleanora Knopf (née Bliss; 1883 – 1974) was an American geologist who worked for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and did research in the Appalachians during the first two decades of the twentieth century. She studied at Bryn Mawr College, and earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry, a master's degree in geology, and a Ph.D. in geology in 1912. She was the first American geologist to use the new technique of petrography which she pioneered in her life's work - the study of Stissing Mountain.

In Lemony Snickett's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Eleanora is Mr. Poe's wife.

Eleanora Fagan, professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter with a career spanning nearly thirty years. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner Lester Young, Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She was known for her vocal delivery and improvisational skills, which made up for her limited range and lack of formal music education. There were other jazz singers with equal talent, but Holiday had a voice that captured the attention of her audience.

Ellanora Needles (born: September 1, 1918, died: February 7, 2002) was an American actress. (I know her name is spelled differently but it's pronounced the same way.)

Unsure if she was a real person, but Eleanora was Edgar Allen Poe's love in the short story "Eleanora" although she was his cousin in the story and she died in the end, the way he talks about her sounds very beautiful. Because of the story the name reminds me of a beautiful valley.

Eleanora Fagan was Billie Holiday's birth name.
