The name Ellinor is a charming and timeless choice for a baby girl. With roots in Greek and Old French, it is a variant of the more commonly known Eleanor. The name is pronounced as el-uh-nor (/ˈɛlənɔr/) in English. Historically, the name has been associated with nobility and elegance, often linked to figures such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages.
