Elliotte
A literary classic reborn as a bold girl's name
Meaning & Origin
The Story of Elliotte
Elliotte is a feminine variant of Elliott, itself an English surname derived from the medieval given name Elias, from the Hebrew Eliyahu meaning 'my God is Yahweh' or 'the Lord is my God.' The added -e at the end feminizes the traditionally masculine name while maintaining its strong, literary character.
Elliott has been trending for girls since the mid-2010s, reflecting a broader pattern of surname-style and traditionally masculine names being adopted for girls. The -tte variant Elliotte signals the feminine with a French flourish. The name benefits from adorable nickname options like 'Ellie,' while maintaining a distinctive, gender-forward identity.
Elliott is deeply embedded in American and British literary and film culture — from T.S. Eliot to the beloved alien friendship story 'E.T.' Using it for a girl signals progressive naming values and literary sensibility.
