Route53 can be used to create an alias with your domain name. If you visit the service console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53, and click on the hosted zones menu, you can add a new hosted zone for your domain name, which is an alias to the ELB previously set.
Assuming that you already own the domain name from a registrar, you can simply redirect the domain to AWS's DNS. Click on Create Hosted Zone, and add your domain.
