Eline is not a name.
El= hand
Eline= to your hand
If someone makes for me a cake, I say her "Eline Sağlık"

Can we say "Well done" in your opinion?
But it means probably "Aferin"
In this case, do we talk like as a superior of her saying "aferin"?

Literally ´Health to your hand´ isn´t it? But you are right no saying like that in English - we would just say something like ´thanks for the lovely meal/food´.

Thanks for all comments.
I´ll notice that "Eline Sağlık" is used generally and its replies can be change.
In example when a hairdresser cut my hair I say this to him, And he says "Sıhhatler olsun!"
in my former post:
If Mum made me a cake, I say her "Eline Sağlık" and she says "Afiyet Olsun!"
