Linore is English in Origin.

Linore is a rare feminine given name, most plausibly a modern blend or variant of Lenore (a short form of Eleanor/Leonora popularized in English by Poe) and the Israeli name Linor. From the Eleanor/Lenore line, it inherits associations with "light" (often linked to Greek Helene, "torch, sunbeam") and, less commonly, with "mercy" (from folk connections to Greek eleos, "compassion"). From Hebrew Linor, it echoes the meaning "my light" or "for me, light" (li + or).

The name appears sporadically in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century and remains uncommon; one contemporary bearer is author Linore Rose Burkard. Variants and cognates include Lenore, Leonore, Leonora, Elinor, Eleanor, and the Hebrew Linor; related forms are Liora/Liorah and Leora. Nicknames may include Lina, Linnie, and Nori. Linore suits parents seeking a luminous, literary-adjacent choice with cross-cultural resonance yet clear individuality.
