Bitter; or name of a Welsh river
In Welsh tradition, Eleri is a feminine name derived from the name of a river in Ceredigion. It is also associated with Saint Eleri, a 7th-century Welsh princess and nun. The etymology is often linked to the Welsh word for bitter, though its river origins suggest an older, pre-Celtic water connection.
