Electrah is Greek in Origin.

Electrah is a modern respelling of Electra, from Ancient Greek Ēléktra (Ἠλέκτρα), related to ēlektron, “amber,” hence “shining, radiant.” The name belongs to two prominent figures in Greek myth: the steadfast daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, celebrated in the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides, and a Pleiad, mother of several heroes. Revived in Europe during the Renaissance and again in the 19th century through classical studies and stage adaptations, it has remained uncommon in English-speaking countries.

Variants include Electra (standard English), Elektra (German, Scandinavian and comic-book usage), Ilektra (Modern Greek), and rarer elaborations like Elektrah and Elektria. Electrah’s final h is a contemporary stylistic flourish without affecting pronunciation (eh-LEK-truh). The root also gave English the word electricity, reinforcing luminous associations. Related choices with similar imagery are Amber, Aurora, and Selene, while nicknames such as Ellie or Lexa are possible.
