Elvira Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. this Spanish name is possibly from Old German Alverat, which became Alvery or Aubrey in English (see Albreda). It has occasionally been used in England since the beginning of the 19th C, perhaps from its associations with the Don Juan legend.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
There are several suggestions as to the origin of this name, which is also found in Italian. According to some it has been corrupted from the name Geloyra or Geluira, but there is no suggestion as to the origin of the latter name. Others think it another spelling of the Moorish name Elmira, a name said to be derived from emir. Miss Yonge seems to think it of Spanish origin, and that it might come from Elvira (the ancient Eliberis), the scene of a very notable synod of the Western Church; but she prefers to trace it, through one of the names Alvara or Alberia, and the old male names Alvar, Alba, Alva (and of course Sp. albár), to thethe Latin albus, white.
