Elgiva is a unique feminine name of Slavic origin. Meaning “holy,” it is an ideal choice for keeping baby close to their faith as they find their way in the world. Elgiva is believed to have stemmed from the popular names Olga or Elga, which means “sacred” or “elf’s spear,” offering a sense of mysticism to the moniker. Thanks to Elgiva’s relation to Elga, this sweet title also has some German and Norweigan roots, as well as a definition of “pious.”
