The traditional spelling in Occitan is "Alienòr"; "Aliénor" is French, and possibly Mistralian spelling also. Usage should be changed to French of Occitan origin, and "Alienòr" added to Occitan and its dialects (Provençal, Gascon...the dialects may only be on the submitted names site.)See here (dictionaries): https://locongres.org/oc/aplicacions/dicodoc-oc/dicodoc-recerca?option=com_dicodoc&view=search&Itemid=168&type=fr-oc&dic%5B%5D=BASIC&dic%5B%5D=RBVD&dic%5B%5D=ALPC&dic%5B%5D=ATAU&dic%5B%5D=PROV&dic%5B%5D=PNST&dic%5B%5D=OMLH&dic%5B%5D=LAUS&dic%5B%5D=LAGA&dic%5B%5D=LEMO&q=%C3%89l%C3%A9onore&q2=&submit=Cercar

We are a Anglo/French family who live in France where the famous Aliénor d'Aquitaine was from (Eleanor of Aquitaine in English). I named my daughter Alyénor to avoid the word "alien" within the name. Same pronunciation in French!

One of my friends, who is part Occitan, has recently named her daughter this. I think it's really nice - I like this name and a lot of other Occitan names.

Alienor of Aquitaine (also known as Eleonore) was the Queen Consort of Louis VII of France and later of Henry II of England. She was the mother of Richard Lionheart and John Lackland.
