- Short form of Eleanor. This was the name of the departed love of the narrator in Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'The Raven' (1845). Lenore is a diminutive of Eleanor. Eleanor most likely originates in Greek language and means "sympathy, compassion". Some sources also suggest a Latin origin and the meaning "one who heals". Eleanor was the name of several queens, as well as princesses. The most famous bearer in history was probably Eleanor of Aquitaine, the queen consort of France and England in the 12th century.
