The word itself is possibly a combination of sylvestris and nympha (forest and nymph), but they're air spirits from Paracelsus' 16th century works. Sylphs go along with undines, gnomes, and salamanders (water, earth, and fire spirits).
Some different kinds of nymphs are dryads (oak trees), oceanids (oceans), oreads (mountains), and plenty of others.
