History & Origin

Ellara is a contemporary coinage: Ella — a short form of Eleanor and Ellen — extended with the popular -ara ending. It also echoes Elara, the Greek mythological figure whose name was given to a Jovian moon. Neither is a documented descent, and the routes are uncertain, which we note.

It is newly emerging for girls in the U.S. Very rare, celestial-adjacent, and soft.

Did you know? Ellara sits a single letter from Elara — a figure of Greek myth whose name was given to one of Jupiter's moons. The double-l version reads more like an elaborated Ella; the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'eh-LAR-uh').
