What does the name Eleanor mean in Hebrew?

Answer 1

While "Eleanor" is often attributed to a variant of the Greek name "Helen," which means "sunlight", there are many other possible origins of this name including Germanic, Latin, and alternate Greek sources.

When looking for the meaning of the HEBREW version of this name, the name must be broken into its parts (as with most Hebrew names - see "Elisheva" or "Batya"). In Hebrew, "El" means "Lord", "i" indicates the first-person possessive, and "Nor" means "fire" or "light". From these elements, the Hebrew name, "Elinor," means "The Lord is my light" or "The Lord is my fire."

Aramaic was the ancient vernacular of the Hebrews, and "Nora", the Aramaic word for fire, could also be used for the variant name "Elinora" with the same meaning.
