Before her death the String Folk wanted to use her name to create a holiday for the day they won their freedom, but Elucina apparently objected to a day named after her. As such, they simply rearranged her name to '''Cinaelu'''. Thus, when they call Cinaelu, what they actually say is, ‘Elucina’s weave be yours’, which mean freedom.
