Eleanor (usually pronounced /ˈɛlənɔr/ in North America but /ˈɛlənər/ elsewhere, also spelled as Elinor, Elenor, Eleanore, or Elynor) is a female given name.
The name derives from the Provençal name Aliénor which became "Eléanor" or "Eleonore" in the northern Langue d'oïl and from there also to English.
The origin and meaning of Aliénor is unknown, and several possible etymologies has been proposed. It may be a Provençal variation of the Italian Elena which in turn is a variation of the Greek Ἑλένη. It may also derive from Latin lenire, to soothe or to heal.[citation needed] Another suggested source may be the Germanic name Aldenor, "old north".[unreliable source?] Popular 'nicknames' for Eleanor include Ellie, Ella, Ellin/Ellen, Nellie/Nelly, Ennie/Enna, Leane/Liann, Elanne, Elea (El-ee), Leanor/Leanora, Lena/Leana and Anor/Anora/Anna.
As Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122?/1124?-1204) was the first high profile bearer of the name and as she was the daughter of Aénor de Châtellerault it has been suggested that the name Eleanor originated with Eleanor of Aquitaine, the postulation being that Eleanor of Aquitaine was named Aénor after her mother but referred to as Aliénor that name representing "Alia-Aénor" i.e. the other Aénor. However there is evident usage of the name Eleanor predating Eleanor of Aquitaine: while there are no evident sources contemporary with the personage later referred to as Eleanor of Normandy (b.1011?/1013?) which refer to her by name, there is no reason to question that Eleanor of Champagne (1102–1147) was in fact named Eleanor.

Exit 22-A seems to represent a portal connecting him with the values and virtue left behind, but it turns out to be much more.

And, in doing so, saves it.
