Ellie

Ellie is an English diminutive of names beginning with El-, most commonly Eleanor, Ellen, or Elizabeth. Eleanor ultimately traces back through Old French to a Provençal name of uncertain origin, possibly derived from the Germanic elements ali, meaning other or foreign, and ari, meaning eagle, while Elizabeth comes from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning my God is an oath. The name gained widespread independent use in the English-speaking world and is now frequently given as a full given name in its own right. Related forms include Ellie's longer source names Eleanor, Ellen, and Elizabeth, as well as the variant Elly.
