Comments (Meaning / History Only)

Electra is one of the stars of the Taurus constellation.
The Pleiad Electra of Greek mythology was one of the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione. [noted -ed] She was called Atlantis by Ovid, personifying the family of Pleiades.
Instead of the Greek myth, the meaning of this name is another. Means 'shining', person that radiates light.
I prefer Elektra to Electra. The K in the middle gives importance.
Electra did not help Orestes actually kill their mother or their mother's lover, but stood off to the side and cheered him on.
Electra didn't really help Orestes to kill their mother, she just pushed him a little.
