Elettra Origin and Meaning

The name Elettra is a girl's name of Italian origin meaning "amber, shining, bright".

Less electric and more serene than Electra which comes with a lot of tragic and psychoanalytical baggage, Elettra is the Italian form that ranks in the Top 200 in the Italian charts. Nicknames Etta, Lettie, and Elle make this doubly appealing.

It was chosen by actress Isabella Rossellini for her now grown-up daughter, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann.
