Ellora is English in Origin.
Ellora is a toponymic given name taken from the famed Ellora Caves in Maharashtra, India. The place name appears in medieval inscriptions as Elura or Elapura and was anglicized to Ellora; it likely reflects the nearby village now called Verul. As a personal name, it carries associations of artistry, devotion, and endurance rather than a single lexical meaning, drawn from the UNESCO-listed complexes of Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments.
In contemporary use, Ellora emerged in the late 20th century in India and among the global diaspora, and in English-speaking countries as a graceful alternative to Elora and Eliora. Some bearers treat it as a variant of Hebrew Eliora ("my God is my light"), or as a modern blend of Ella and the -ora ending found in Cora and Nora. Variants and related forms include Elora, Eliora, Elnora, Ellorah; nicknames include Ellie, Ella, and Lora. Usage remains uncommon but rising.
