ALIENOR as Alia Aenor
This intriguing explanation of ALIENOR has been on this site for a while, but unfortunately it doesn't give the meaning of AENOR. There is a submitted name AENOR on this site:
Provenzal, from lenire, "to heal", and adoucir, "to soften". This does not sound very convincing to me, especially with its double derivation. - Is there anything else on the market? Or do we just not know?

Two years ago, I gave an explanation about Alienor: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=2921593&board=genLater, I worked more on the subject, I wrote a paper about the genesis of the name Eleanor and its variants and I sent to the Societat d'Onomàstica (the Catalan Names Society) to be published. Right now, it is in press and they have assured me that it will appear in the next bulletin, which must to come out next March or April.If you are interested in it, sent me a PM with your e-mail address and I will sent you the paper and an English translation when it is finally published.
