Eleri is a unique and captivating female given name of Welsh origin. It is derived from the ancient Welsh word "eleri," which means "radiant" or "shining." The name is often associated with sunlight, brightness, and positivity. In Wales, it has been traditionally used for girls born around the summer solstice due to its luminous meaning. However, its usage is not limited to this time of year and can be given to a child born at any time throughout the year. Eleri has gained international recognition in recent years and is now considered an attractive choice by parents seeking distinctive yet meaningful names for their daughters.
"Eleri saw a surge in popularity between 2003 and 2009, with birth numbers more than doubling from 9 to 20. However, it has since fluctuated, with recent years (2017-2021) returning to lower numbers similar to the late 1990s."
