Hannelore

Hannelore is a German female given name, which is a combination of two names:


 * Hanne, a German and Dutch diminutive or short form of Johanna, itself a feminized form of Iohannes (i.e. John), which means God is gracious.
 * Lore, the German short form or diminutive of Eleanor, (i.e. Eleonore), a likely variant of the Latin Aenor, which is an old Germanic name of unknown meaning. There is an Occitan phrase "alia Aenor" meaning the other Aenor and used to distinguish a daughter with the same name of her mother. This became "Eleanore" in Old English.

There is also a variant of the name "Hannalora."
