Lanelle

Lanelle is an American name for girls that blends the La- prefix with Nelle. Nelle has several origins to explore as a diminutive of names like Eleanor, Ellen, and Helen. Both Ellen and Helen are said to derive from Helene, a Greek moniker with meanings like "torch," "shining one," and "moon." Adding to its vibrance is Eleanor, which may stem from the Arabic Nurah, meaning "light" and "radiant." Eleanor also has the translation "the other Aenor" in French, Aenor being a Germanic name that possibly means "Old North." This bright name choice will remind baby Lanelle of the light they carry within.
