Origin: Greek

Meaning: Amber; Shining, incandescent

One of the more memorable names to come out of Greek mythology is Elektra. While one of the namesake characters was turned into a star by Zeus, the other plots revenge. Ilectra, an alternate spelling, helps erase its darker past while still retaining its meanings of “amber,” “shining,” and “incandescent.” As such, your little one will feel inspired to be a shining example of how far one can go if they set their hearts and minds on their goals.
