Elvéra Origin and Meaning

The name Elvéra is a girl's name of French origin.

Elvéra is a feminine name with Latin origins, derived from the Spanish name Elvira, which itself likely comes from the Gothic element "alwi" meaning "all, whole" combined with "wers" meaning "true." The addition of the accent mark gives the name a distinct French or European flair. While less common in English-speaking countries, Elvéra has maintained some popularity in parts of Europe, particularly in French and Spanish-speaking regions. The name carries an air of elegance and old-world charm, conjuring images of sophistication. With its melodic pronunciation and slightly exotic feel to English speakers, Elvéra appeals to parents seeking a name that's both classical and distinctive, offering a less common alternative to popular names like Ella or Eva.
