It sounds like you have Saba, although it originated in Asia, you find many of the same varieties throughout the tropics anyways. I would guess that the "el" part was tacked on just from being grown in Ecuador. Banana names are not official, they will vary by region and the best you can really do is just try to group together all of the many synonyms for each variety.
