                                  Elgiva is a feminine name of Anglo-Saxon origin with rich historical connections. Derived from Old English elements meaning 'elf gift' or 'gift of the elves,' it carries mystical and ethereal connotations. The name was borne by several notable women in early English history, including queens and noblewomen during the Anglo-Saxon period. Despite its historical significance, Elgiva remains extremely rare in modern usage, making it a distinctive choice. The name has a melodic, almost regal quality with its flowing syllables. Elgiva offers an authentic connection to ancient English heritage while standing apart from more common medieval revival names. Those named Elgiva might appreciate its unique sound, historical depth, and connection to English cultural roots, though they would likely need to explain its pronunciation and origins frequently.
