Eldoria

Eldoria is a feminine name perfect for a treasured child. As a variant of Eldora, Eldoria is born from the Spanish El Dorado and means "the golden one." This name was given to a fabled city believed to lie in the heart of the Amazon jungle. It was popularized by Spanish explorers' encounters with Bogotá-dwelling tribes, who knew of a legendary leader of a nearby city believed to cover himself in gold dust during celebrations and receive grand offerings of jewels and precious metals from the citizens. The quest for this fictitious city began during the 16th century and sought after as late as the 18th century. Eldoria's etymological roots can be traced back to the Spanish verb dorar, meaning "to gild," and the Latin aurum, meaning "gold." Thus, Eldoria can also be interpreted as "gilded in gold," "gold-colored," "beautiful," "precious," and "magnificent"—all words that perfectly describe your lovely little one! You might recall the DreamWorks movie, The Road to El Dorado, inspired by the search for this gold-covered land of humankind's wildest dreams. One thing's for sure: you won't have to go very far to find your own golden gem in little Eldoria!
