Let's not trust Norris.  For fashion or for names.

Reaney, P.H. and R.M.Wilson, _A Dictionary of English Surnames_ p. 238 has
Hope as the header spelling and dates Robert de Hope 1255 and Robert del 
Hope 1302.  "From Hope (Derby, Salop, NRYorks, etc.) or from residence in
or near raised land in a fen, or a small enclosed valley (OE hop)."

Was the forename a typo?  I can find Alianor, Alianora, Alienor, Alienora, 
Eleanor, Eleanora, Elianora, Elianor, Elinor, Elyenora, and Elena, but not
Elanor.
