Hannelore is a girl’s name of German, Dutch, and Hebrew origin, which combines the names Hanne and Lore. Hanne is a diminutive of the German and Dutch name Johanna, which derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan or John, meaning “God is gracious.” Lore is a shortened form of Eleanore, which is thought to derive from Aenor, a Germanic name of unknown meaning. Hannelore blends these two lovely names to create an equally pretty moniker, giving you the best of both worlds! A famous bearer is Belgian model and actress Hannelore Knuts.
