Eldorada Origin and Meaning

The name Eldorada is a girl's name.

Eldorada is a feminine name inspired by the legendary El Dorado, the mythical city of gold sought by Spanish conquistadors in South America. The name transforms the masculine Spanish term (literally "the gilded one") into a feminine form, creating an evocative name suggesting golden beauty, value, and exotic allure. While extremely rare in usage, Eldorada carries romantic associations with adventure, discovery, and precious treasures. The name emerged occasionally in the early 20th century during a period when elaborate, romantic names were fashionable. Its four melodious syllables create a flowing rhythm, while the meaning connects to notions of wealth, both material and spiritual.
