Eléa

Eléa is a feminine given name used in several countries, most notably in French-speaking regions, where the acute accent signals a particular pronunciation. The exact origin and meaning of Eléa are not widely documented in standard onomastic references, and the name is often treated as a modern formation rather than a name with a single historical root. It may be a standalone creation or a variant influenced by related names such as Lea (Leah), Elena, or Elea, reflecting common patterns in contemporary naming.

In use, Eléa has appeared in baby-name lists and personal naming choices in Francophone communities since the late 20th century, and it remains relatively uncommon compared with more traditional names. Spelling variants include Elea, Élea, and Éléa, while related names in the broader family include Lea, Leah, Elena, and Ellie. The name has appeared in various works of fiction and media by different authors and creators, but there is no single canonical character or work associated with the name Eléa.

As with many modern names, the appeal of Eléa hinges on personal preference and stylistic considerations—its soft sound and concise form have contributed to its use in contemporary naming.
