Are you sure it's Elenteria? Eleutheria would fit his amazing tastes better, and it's an easy transcription error.

You're right, it's Eleutheria. I got it from a handwritten document from the 1800s (not very easy to read), but I also found his children mentioned in an old (digitalized) newspaper, where she was Eleutheria. It was actually a paragraph from 1874 about what odd names his children had, by the way...

Ljus (pr. yoos) means light in Swedish, the ending hild is like in for example Alfhild. The name Ljushild was actually the reason I found this family!

Wow, great find, what an interesting mix of names! I wonder where Chuth-Ullin came from - it looks like something out of HP Lovecraft. :) Fascinating that his son carried on the fancy naming, too.
