Elba

Elba is a gender-neutral name of Italian origin. This important place name is situated off the coast of Italy, marking the site of Napoleon's first exile, which it has become synonymous with “a place or state of exile.” As such, Elba is a significant name that may appeal to a history-buff parent or a fan of romantic Italian islands! Alternatively, Elba has Urdu roots, where is means “soot” or “grime.” The Elbe is also an important river in Germany and the Czech Republic and a variation of this unique and elegant name. And, with actor Idris Elba sharing the moniker, baby will be in great company!
