Elara
Meaning of Elara
Elara (pronounced eh-LAR-uh) drifts onto the naming scene like a moonlit tide, borrowing her glow from Greek mythology—Elara was a lover of Zeus and lends her name to one of Jupiter’s lesser-known satellites. That celestial tie gives the name an “eyes-turned-skyward” feeling, perfect for parents who picture their daughter chasing big dreams. At the same time, Elara’s gentle melody and familiar “Ella/Eli-” opening make her feel right at home beside classics like Clara and Aurora. Though she’s still a hidden gem—hovering just inside the U.S. Top 1,000—Elara has been steadily climbing, suggesting that many moms and dads are ready to trade ordinary for orbit-worthy. In short, Elara is a name that balances mythic wonder with everyday sweetness, offering a little star power without ever losing its down-to-earth charm.
