The Story of Eliott
Eliott is a spelling variant of Elliott, an English and Scottish surname derived from the medieval given name Elias, from the Hebrew Eliyahu meaning 'my God is Yahweh' or 'the Lord is my God.' The single 't' ending is a less common variant, with Elliott (double t) being the standard spelling. Both are used as given names with a long literary and cultural tradition.
Elliott has been rising steadily in the US since the 1990s and entered the top 100 in recent years. The spelling Eliott is a French variant that gives the name a slightly more European flavor. The name benefits from the beloved associations with E.T., literary figures like T.S. Eliot, and the general appeal of surname-style names.
Eliott carries British and Scottish surname heritage, associated with the Scottish Border clan Elliot (or Elliott). In French-speaking countries, Éliott is used as a given name with growing frequency. The name's literary associations — T.S. Eliot, George Eliot — add intellectual gravitas.
