Ellas town or enclosure
Derived from Old English, it originally served as a place-name meaning 'Ella's settlement' or 'the town on the hill'. While it has deep roots as a surname, it became a distinctive given name in the 20th century. It carries a sophisticated, mid-century charm while remaining rare today.
