Ranger
From WoWWiki
Rangers are elite wilderness warriors unique to the elves (with the exception of Nathanos Marris). Rangers are elite archers and skirmishers, capable of doing tricks with the bow that few others can hope to match. Their ability to fight in the wilderness is equaled only by the Horde's orc hunters.WRPG 73WoWRPG 100
Although they could end up as a playable Hero Class in the next expansion or later, a Marksmanship specialised Hunter is currently the closest playable equivalent available in-game.
Blood elf hunters are often referred as "Rangers" in quest and dialogues.

Elven Ranger
Elven rangers are a special cadre of elven archers who are intimately bound to the wildlands of Lordaeron. Their pursuit of mastery in Longbow, Marksmanship, and Scouting make them more rugged and even deadlier than their brothers - traits for which they are greatly feared amongst their enemies. These secretive and elite warriors have never involved themselves in the affairs of Humans, but when Horde onslaughts threatened to destroy the Elven homelands, they quickly offered their services to the Alliance. Although their numbers are few, their presence could change the course of the war if they are deployed wisely.W2Man 46
The elven ranger is an elite wilderness warrior whose skills are unique to the elven race. These skills are rooted in ancient tradition, from even before the time of Queen Azshara, and survive in the cultures of both the high elves and the night elves. Elven ranger orders exist among both high elves and night elves. Among the modern high elves, the elven ranger is known as just that, but among the night elves the elven rangers are called by their ancient title: sentinels. The elven rangers of both races are capable of running through rugged terrain to make impossible shots that appear fluid and natural.WRPG 73WoWRPG 100
Elven rangers practiced a form of druidism. Elven rangers who became dark rangers lost the ability to use those powers.HPG 41 Elven rangers draw their spells from their relationships with nature and the spirits of nature.

Famous or named
The elusive elven Ranger known as Alleria Windrunner learned of the devastation the Horde could bring as she searched for the remains of her family amongst the ashes of the once glorious Quel’thalas. Her all-consuming hatred for the orcs led her to Azeroth where she lead an elite cadre of Rangers to hunt down the remaining orc renegades of the Bleeding Hollow clan. She was on Draenor when it blew up, and her whereabouts are unknown.
The ranger named Sylvanas Windrunner helped the high elves fend off Arthas as he tried to attack their capital Silvermoon and Quel'thalas in Warcraft III. She was a hero unit, produced at the high elf building called the Altar of Kings.
