To add to Paul's comment, Jeff had stated that he used the Ellipse as there are many moments in the show that trace back to the show's beginning just like a PLanet goes around the sun in an elliptical orbit and returns to the same point, the show returns to its origins.

For instance, when Scott, Allison, and Stiles sacrifice themselves. They wake up to see themselves in a White room containing the Nemeton (The set used in this scene pays a homage either to the film, Dark Knight, or one particular scene in the Resident Evil Franchise). When each character touches the Nemeton, they see a flashback of their own past (Scott sees himself getting bitten by Peter Hale and stumbles upon the Nemeton, Stiles sees himself getting chased by the Sheriff and his men and stumbles upon the Nemeton when he tries to hide and so on).... Therefore, many events in this episode has a strong link to the beginning of the film. Also, as this episode covers events occuring during a Lunar Eclipse, Jeff did some wordplay and took Lunar from Lunar Eclipse and added Ellipse to name the episode as Lunar Ellipse.

Sorry about the long post.
