Elefteria is Greek in Origin.

Elefteria is a Greek feminine name meaning “freedom” or “liberty,” from Ancient Greek Eleutheria (Ελευθερία), the abstract noun personifying civic freedom in classical literature and inscriptions. Through Byzantine to Modern Greek it developed into Eleftheria (Ελευθερία); Elefteria represents an alternative transliteration and a phonetic, diaspora-friendly spelling that reflects contemporary pronunciation.

Usage is deeply tied to Greek national identity: the motto “Elefthería i Thánatos” (“Freedom or Death”) and 19th–20th‑century independence movements helped popularize the name, and it remains familiar across Greece and the Hellenic diaspora. Common variants include Eleftheria (standard), Eleutheria (classical/learned), Elefteria (simplified), and the colloquial Lefteria; the related masculine forms are Eleftherios/Eleutherios. Diminutives and nicknames include Ria and Lefteriá/Lefteroula. Semantically equivalent names in other languages include Liberty (English), Libertad (Spanish), and Libertà (Italian). The name carries connotations of autonomy, resilience, and national pride.
