Echoing Jonquil's comment: 'Possibly derived from Welsh el- "greatly, much" and geri "bitter." This was the name of a river in Ceredigion and a 5th-century saint, the grandmother of Saint David.'
Apparently, there are two related Welsh feminine names: Meleri, derived from Welsh my "my" and Eleri; and Teleri, from Welsh ty "your" and Eleri. 'Teleri verch Peul was one of the maidens of King Arthur's court mentioned in Kulhwch and Olwen.'

This beautiful lilting name is also that of a Welsh river. In their "The Brilliant Book of Baby Names" Satran and Rosenkrantz give the meaning as "greatly bitter".
