Lenora

Some sites say it comes from Eleanor and Helen. Others say it is a form of Leona. I prefer the latter description, because Leona means "like a lion." Eleanor and Helen has no meaning, according to what I can find. They are just namesakes.

What thinkest ya'll?

Eleanor and Helen (and Helena, Lenore, Eleanora, Elinor, Nellie) all come from Elena, the Greek word for "light."

That makes me happy. I really like the name Luz Elena, which is too Hispanic for my white self. It means light light. :D
