[edit] Behind the scenes

  • Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Elladora may have been a member of the Slytherin House, which most likely true, since Sirius Black says that all of his family was in the Slytherin House.
  • Elladora's and Callidora's pictures on a Black family tree are the same. Either Callidora and Elladora have got similar names.
  • Sirius one said to Harry "dear aunt Elladora", but on the Black family tree, Elladora isn't Sirius' aunt, but great great great aunt.

[edit] Etymology

The name Ella is a Norman form of the Germanic Alia, meaning "other"[3]. It is also possibly related to Aella, a Greek name meaning "whirlwind". Aella of mythology was an Amazon killed by Hercules. The name Dora, often considered a diminutive of Theodora, is derived from the Greek word doron, meaning "gift"[4]
