A Nursery Rhyme for Eleanor
A free, original lullaby written just for the name Eleanor — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Moonlit Whisper Song
Stars drift soft upon the sleepy sky
Their silver songs hum sweet upon the sky
Eleanor sighs in a hush so warm
Night's bright lullaby wraps her in warm
The moon paints ribbons of gentle light
While clouds drift by in the quiet night
Eleanor glows like a bright little star
Peaceful dreams drift close from afar
Glowing comets trail a silvery thread
They twirl and tumble above her bed
Eleanor smiles as the heavens gleam
Love wraps her heart in a starlit beam

What does the name Eleanor mean?
Origin — Old French, from Occitan
From the Old French Aliénor, itself from the Occitan Alienòr.
Where sources disagree: The meaning is not established. The frequently cited derivations from Greek eleos, “mercy”, or from Helen are later attempts to explain a name whose root was already obscure. It entered England with Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1152.
We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.
