Meaning & Origin of Hannelore
Meaning: Blend of Hanne (a German form of Hannah/Johanna, "grace, favor") and Eleonore (Eleanor, meaning uncertain/disputed).
Origin: German (blend of Hanne + Eleonore).
A common claim: "Grace + laurel" Actually: The 'laurel' part is a mistaken folk gloss -- the '-lore' in Hannelore comes from Eleonore (Eleanor), not from 'laurel,' and Eleanor's own origin is itself uncertain/disputed, not 'laurel.'
