…and on it there were a lot of interesting names, but one name that struck me in particular is Elura.
Does anyone have any information on this? I’m not sure if it’s made up. I did a basic google search, but couldn’t do too much research since I’m at work.Can anyone help a berry out?
Thank you!
I’ve seen it before. I don’t remember where, but I have heard of it. It might be related to Eliora, Llora, Eleanora or Elora.
I’ll continue looking and come back if I find more information.
It sounds like [name_f]Allura[/name_f], which is a name that’s also on my family tree.
"[i][name_f]Allura[/name_f] \a-llu-ra\ as a girl’s name is of Old [name_m]French[/name_m] origin, and the meaning of [name_f]Allura[/name_f] is “to entice, attract”. Based on the noun, which means “power of attraction”.
[name_f]Allura[/name_f] has 3 variant forms: [name_f]Alloura[/name_f], Allure and [name_f]Alura[/name_f].
[name_u]Baby[/name_u] names that sound like [name_f]Allura[/name_f] are [name_f]Ellura[/name_f] and [name_f]Alurea[/name_f].

Maybe Elura is a derivation?
Thank you, guys!
I really like this name, so I wish I could find out why Elura’s parents decided to name her this.
I had the same issue before!
I walk through a cemetery every day to go home from my work placement, and passed a tombstone for an infant named Florala. I didn’t have much luck finding things out, but, I know it wasn’t a combination of her parents’ names. I’d take a look further into the bloodlines for both parents to see if it pops up elsewhere. Also, the date of birth could be an indicator. A lot of girls born during/after the Boer War were given the names of battles, such as Ladysmith and Pretoria.
So far she is the only Elura I’ve seen. She was my father’s great-grandmother, born in 1894.
Further back in the 1700’s in Germany I found a Fronica, which won’t be making the list any time soon.
