Elldora is Greek, Spanish in Origin.

Elldora is a modern respelling of Eldora, a vintage feminine name shaped by Spanish and English influences. Eldora likely grew in the United States from the legend of El Dorado, "the gilded one," giving the meaning "golden" or "gilded." The -dora ending also echoes Greek doron "gift," familiar from Theodora and Isadora, so some read it as "golden gift."

Use is documented in U.S. records from the late 1800s to early 1900s, and the name survives in place names such as Eldora, Colorado and Iowa. Elldora updates the classic with a double-l, aligning with Ella and Ellie, yet remains quite rare.
