Is Eleonora a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Eleonora has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 113 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Eleonora: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Eleonora, and how old are they?
1,060 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 64% of the 1,651 Americans ever recorded as Eleonora. The median Eleonora alive today is 11 years old; half are between 5 and 28.
The 2020 Census counted 3,012 people named Eleonora (3,006 women and girls, 6 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 735 born in the U.S. The Census count is 4.1 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 57,254 babies since 1880, Eleonora is the sixth most given (2.9% of them). In 2025 it was given to 95 of their 690 babies (14%), the third most given that year.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
