Ellar is an uncommon feminine name with uncertain etymology, possibly derived from Germanic elements or as a variant of Ellen or Ella. The name has a contemporary sound despite its vintage feel, combining the popularity of El- names with a distinctive ending. As a feminine name, Ellar remains extremely rare in most English-speaking countries, never having entered the top naming charts. Some speculate it could be related to the Old English 'ellern' meaning 'elder tree' or simply a modern invention based on popular naming sounds. Its uniqueness makes it appealing to parents seeking a name with familiar elements but an uncommon overall presence.

Ellar Coltrane, the star of Richard Linklater's acclaimed 2014 movie "Boyhood," is an outlier, namewise. Most others with his first name are girls, and there aren't even many of them -- the last time the Social Security Administration registered the name at all was in 1956, when six girls were named Ellar. Still, with Gaelic names being trendy, and the "El-" sound on the rise, it has some potential.
