📖 About Elettra
Elettra is the Italian form of Electra, derived from ancient Greek meaning "shining" or "bright." The name is rooted in the same word that gave us electricity. In Greek mythology, Electra was the fiercely loyal daughter of Agamemnon, whose story was told by all three great Athenian tragedians. Rare and distinguished globally, the name has seen modest growth in the US during the 2020s as parents seek classical names with mythological depth.
