About Elvira
Before there was the campy TV Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, Elvira was the long-suffering wife of Don Juan, and remnants of those negative, gothic images still cling to it, though they are fading.
Other references include the romantic film Elvira Madigan, based on a real person, and the main ghostly character in Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit, as well as appearances in several operas.
Elvira was in common use in the US in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, remaining in the Top 1000 until 1981; it's still popular in Scandinavia, ranking Number 39 in Sweden.
Elvira is also given to boys.
Pronounced el-VEER-uh.
As of October 2026, Elvira ranked #1715 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #254 in 1914, Nameberry popularity #624.
