Lanora
Meaning of Lanora
Lanora is a luminous twist on the timeless Eleanor, born from the Old French Eleonore and ultimately rooted in the Greek eleos, meaning “compassion” or “mercy.” Pronounced luh-NOR-uh, it glides off the tongue with a soft, melodious lilt that feels both familiar and delightfully unexpected. In the U.S., you’ll spot roughly twenty little Lanoras a year—just enough to stand out without ever feeling overly trendy—peaking around the mid-900s in popularity. Imagine your daughter carrying a name that conjures golden-hour light and gentle strength in equal measure, a name that’s warm in tone, easy to spell, and uniquely hers. For parents on the hunt for something with vintage charm, modern flair, and a story of kindness at its core, Lanora checks every box.
