Boy - Eliyahu, Elisha, E'li, Ehud (prophets, priests & warlords)
Girl - Efrat, Esther (another name of Bethlehem, the jewish queen of persia)
And of course, there are many more. You basically needs to search all
the hebrew names that start with the word 'Aleph' and sort out of them
the names that their transliteration uses E in the beginning.

Without knowing hebrew. you just need an english bible concordance.

Many but not all of the names beginning with E in English that are
derived from Hebrew names or words would start with the character
Aleph there.  Consequently there are some cognates with names that
begin with A in English.

For girls, a few more suggestions:

Elizabeth is the anglicized form of the Hebrew name Elisheva ("God is
my oath"), both with English spelling variants:

Elisheva (or Elisheba) is mentioned once in the Old Testament, Exodus
6:23, as Aaron's wife (Moses's sister-in-law).  In the New Testament
Elizabeth is the mother of John the Baptist and a close relative of
Mary (cf. the birth narratives in Luke 1 & 2).

Eve (or Eva), the anglicized form of Hebrew name Chava, was the first
Woman and Adam's wife, the "mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20):

Please see the related discussion of "Chavi" here:

Eden ("luxury/delight") is the name of the garden (Hebrew: Gan Eden,
Genesis 2 & 3) where God created Adam and subsequently Eve:

Elisha ("God is my help/salvation"), mentioned by leopardiamus-ga, was
the prophetic successor to Elijah.  It is now a girl's name as well as
a boy's name, possibly because of the similarity in sound to Alicia
(from Old French roots).
