Elaira is a recent coinage. Its clearest echo is Elara — a Greek mythological figure whose name was later given to a moon of Jupiter — with a touch of Lyra or Adaira in the ending. Nothing older stands behind the exact spelling, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'eh-LYE-ruh').
It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, coined, and celestial-feeling.
Did you know? Elara is a figure of Greek myth and the name of one of Jupiter's moons; Elaira reads as its softened modern cousin, with a Lyra-like lift at the end. It is a coinage rather than an inherited name, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'eh-LYE-ruh').
