History & Origin

Elleia is a modern elaboration rather than an inherited name. It builds on Elle, which is the French pronoun for 'she' and also serves as a short form of Eleanor, Ellen and Elizabeth, and adds a vowel-rich -eia ending in step with names like Aleia and Maleia. No older history is documented for Elleia itself, and we present it honestly as a contemporary coinage (said 'el-LAY-ah').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and newly coined.

Did you know? Elle is simply the French word for 'she' - used as a name, a magazine title and a short form of Eleanor - and Elleia stretches it into three flowing beats.
