Elea

Elea is an English given name most likely arising as a short form of Eleanor or Elena, both of which ultimately trace back through Old French and Medieval Latin to the Visigothic element alja, meaning "other," or possibly to the Greek place name Elea, an ancient city in southern Italy associated with the pre-Socratic philosophical school. Its use as a standalone name is relatively modern, emerging alongside the broader trend of reviving classical-sounding short forms. Related names include Eleanor, Elena, Eleanora, and Ella.
