Answer 2

Elvira means Foreign And True and is spanish

Elvis means All Wise and is Scandinavian

so that would be a no...however I dont know the female version.  

Answer 3

To the best of my knowledge, the two are unrelated and neither has an "opposite gender counterpart."

Elvira is a girl's name and is derived from Spanish, often meaning "white" or "pure" or "beautiful."

Elvis is a boy's name, derived from the English, to refer to elf-wise, a derivative of "Alvin."

Answer 4

The only masculine form of Elvira I could find was Elvir.

And I did find Elvisa, which they say is the feminine form of Elvis but the origins aren't listed.

Answer 5

That would be my guess but the only time I've heard Elvira pronounced (EL-VY-RUH) was in the movies, the rest of the time I hear it pronounced (EL-VEER- UH)

BTW: My real name is Alexis but it's actually a male Greek name.....

Answer 6

hmmm..good point, maybe...
