Electa Origin and Meaning
The name Electa is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "chosen, elected; amber".
An early American name inspired by the word spiritual word "elect" and by a passage in the New Testament in which the Christian Church is referred to as "The Elect Lady and Her Children". Used in the 19th and early 20th century, it has since faded out of view, last appearing in the stats in 2016 when it was given to 7 girls.
Still, with Chosen in the charts and Ellie an enduring favorite, perhaps Electa may begin to appeal again.
An alternative possibility is that Electa might be used as an alternative to the mythological Electra, meaning "amber".
