Electra is a feminine name with no shortage of inspiring imagery attached. From the Ancient Greek Ēléktrā, Electra means "shining” or “amber,” painting a picture of a happy soul who sparkles like a gemstone.

Electra may be one letter shy from the highly trained assassin, but that won’t stop baby from showing the world just how fierce they are.
