MEANING & HISTORY
What does Eleonor mean?
Eleonor is specifically documented as a Swedish variant of Eleanor. That spelling relationship is firmer than the often-repeated light translations attached to the wider family.
The exact form should remain Eleonor rather than being silently replaced by Eleanor or Eleonora.
