Do you think that Lenore from the poem "Lenore" is the same Lenore from The Raven?

I mean both were written by Edgar Allan Poe, but i wonder if he means about the same girl or not or its just a coincidence. What do you think tell me please thank you.

Answer #1

I think it’s just one of his favorite female names. As far as I know, there has been no real person in his life with that name.

Though the “love of my life is dead” poems by Poe may be due to/inspired by the early death of his wife Virginia.
