According to Wiki, Elora is a community in Ontario, Canada which was named after a ship, Elora...that name itself inspired by the Ellora Caves in
India. I don't know how the caves received that name.
I first heard the name in the movie, '
Willow', many years ago and just loved the sound of it.
A Lansky name book I bought years ago gives Elora as a short form of
Elnora, which itself is a contraction of
Eleanora. I've found that Lansky's origins don't necessarily jive with the expert etymologist's findings here, however.
