Christmas Elf Name Generator

What is the history behind Christmas Elves?

The Christmas elf is a popular figure in many holiday traditions. But where did this little helper come from?

The history of the Christmas elf can be traced back to Germany in the 1600s. German Protestants believed that evil spirits roamed the earth during the winter months. To ward off these spirits, they would dress up in costumes and make noise to scare them away.

One popular costume was that of an elf. This tradition eventually made its way to America, where the Christmas elf became a popular symbol of the holiday season. Today, Christmas elves are often portrayed as helpful little helpers who make toys for Santa Claus. They are also a popular choice for children's Halloween costumes.
