A stability analysis of metal nanowires shows that a Jahn-Teller deformationbreaking cylindrical symmetry can be energetically favorable, leading to stablenanowires with elliptic cross sections. The sequence of stable cylindrical andelliptical nanowires allows for a consistent interpretation of experimentalconductance histograms for alkali metals, including both the shell andsupershell structures. It is predicted that for gold, elliptical nanowires areeven more likely to form since their eccentricity is smaller than for alkalimetals. The existence of certain metastable ``superdeformed'' nanowires is alsopredicted
