Cheerful or happy, in the documented masculine Hilarius-related Welsh tradition.
The reviewed Welsh entry specifically documents masculine Eleri borrowed from Latin Hilarius. The Latin saint-name entry supplies cheerful or happy. This interpretation is not automatically assigned to all modern feminine Eleri use or to an unreviewed river-name tradition.
