How Ella sounds
Ella has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. The last sound of Ella is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. Ella is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. Ella is a top-ranked name in U.S. birth records of the last few decades, familiar and well loved. In U.S. birth records Ella has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Ella starts on a vowel, H, W or Y, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the earth group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Ella carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. Ella supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Ella would add to it.
