Elaria

A modern-sounding choice with a well-established feel, Elaria has a longer history than you might expect.

On one hand, it may well be considered as a contemporary creation, used as an spin on the recently stylish Elara (meaning "hazelnut, spear" from Greek), or as a twist on the Italian Ilaria, meaning "cheerful", possibly inspired by its surname derivative, Ellery. On the other, Elaria may be viewed as a Medieval corruption of Eulalia, used in the South West of the UK, due to a confusion between the L and the R in the regional accent.

Pronounced eh-LAR-ee-uh.

As of October 2026, Elaria ranked #6385 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5652 for girls in 2024.
