Elara (Ἐλάρα) in Greek mythology was a mortal princess beloved of Zeus. She is also one of Jupiter's moons, discovered in 1905. The name's etymology is debated; some scholars link it to helios (sun).
Elara has been rising rapidly in the U.S. Today it sits in the U.S. top 350.
Elara does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Elara reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
