Lenore
Lost beloved's name
Lenore is a female given name, most familiar from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven," where the narrator mourns his "lost Lenore." The name carries a literary, melancholic air because of this association.
It derives from Eleanor and shares that name's sense of old-fashioned elegance.
