Looking for a girls name that starts with the letters El. Her siblings are Elizabeth, Elisha, and Elexis. So, naturally we have to stick to the trend.
  1. Eloise

    • Origin:

      French and English variation of Heloise

    • Meaning:

      "healthy; wide"

    • Description:

      Well balanced between sleek, sweet, strong, and vintage, newly chic Eloise re-entered the US Top 1000 in 2009, following a 50-year absence.

  3. Elowen

    • Origin:

      Cornish

    • Meaning:

      "elm"

    • Description:

      A beautiful modern Cornish nature name that is rapidly picking up steam in the States: even spawning variant spellings like Elowyn and Elowynn. In its native region, it wasn't widely used as a name before the twentieth century, when the Cornish language was revived. A fresh and magical member of the fashionable El- family of names, it has a pleasant, evocative sound.

      Greek mythology name

    • Meaning:

      "hazelnut, spear"

    • Description:

      A bright, airy choice, Elara appears in Greek mythology and is borne by a lover of Zeus who gave birth to a giant son called Tityos. One of Jupiter's moons is named after her, adding a celestial feel to the name and an appealing connection to astronomy.
  7. Elora

    • Origin:

      English variation of Eliora, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "my God is my light"

    • Description:

      While the etymology of the name is unclear, it's most likely a contraction of Eliora or Elnora. Despite the uncertain heritage, it's a winning construction, based on its El- prefix, the feminine three-syllable flow, and the a ending. It debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2015, and by 2023, Elora was one of the fastest rising girl names.
  8. Eleanora

    • Origin:

      Latinate form of Eleanor, meaning unknown

  10. Elysia

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "from Elysium"

    • Description:

Far less popular than other similar choices, it did rank in the UK Top 1000 until the 2020s, albeit near the latter end of the list.
  11. Elissa
