Commentary on the name Elora:
You may hear that this name is a form of Eleanor, or of Laurel. Or that it comes from the Hebrew for "my light," like Leora. The reality is that Elora is not traditional, but so smoothly feminine that parents find their way to it from many directions -- a lot of them from the 1988 fantasy film Willow.
