Elva

Meaning of Elva

Elva is a cheerful, sunlit name with roots in Old Irish and Old English meaning “white, shining” or even evoking playful forest elves. Pronounced EL-vuh, it rings like a morning breeze drifting through sun-baked Spanish plazas and olive groves. It’s rarely on the big stage, hovering around the 900th spot in U.S. name charts with roughly 40 little Elvas born each year, but that underdog spirit only adds to its charm. Like a secret whispered under starry skies, Elva brings warmth, strength, and a dash of mystery—no need for extra syllables, since it packs all its sparkle in just four letters. For parents craving a timeless, subtly spirited choice, Elva feels like a hidden gem that’s ready to bloom.
