Elyria

From the land of the Illyrians

Elyria is a place-name derivative likely inspired by Illyria, an ancient region in the Balkan Peninsula. It is also the name of a city in Ohio, founded in the early 19th century by Heman Ely. In modern usage, it is often chosen for its ethereal, melodic sound and its similarity to names like Eliana and Lyra.
