Lore, the German short form or diminutive of Eleanore,, 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.
