The name Ellie is traditionally the pet form of the female name Eleanor; however, it can and has been used as a nickname for any girl's name beginning with the element of "El", eg Elizabeth, Ellen, Eloise, Elaine, Elle, etc. Ellie has been used as a stand-alone given name for over a century, but its popularity as a name substitute has really increased throughout this century. Unless the name is tied to a specific form already, then there is essentially no etymological meaning to the name. However, several 'EL' names (such as Eleanor) are derived from the Germanic word 'Ali' meaning 'yes, foreign' so this is probably the best meaning we can give to Ellie's name.
The personality of the name Ellie
The number seven personality is deeply mystical and highly in tune with your spirituality. They operate on a different wavelength than the average citizen. Spending time alone comes easily to Sevens, as it gives them time to contemplate philosophical, religious, and spiritual ideas in an effort to find the "real truth." Sevens are wise, but they often exude mystery as if they were tapped into something the rest of us don't understand. Sevens are constantly trying to understand human nature, our place in the universe, and the mystery of life in general. This makes them very artistic and poetic, but they are also keen observers with high intellects - so they are equally scientifically minded.
The popularity of the name Ellie
Ellie is a name that was on the US charts in the early 20th century, but only in moderate use. By 1930, the name basically disappeared from the charts for over 60 years. The name comes out of hibernation in 1992 and takes about 20 years to climb a whopping 900 points on the popularity charts. Ellie is almost on the Top 100 list of most favored girl's names, and I bet it's only a matter of time before that happens. Ellie has been reflecting the same trends that other 100-year-old girl names have experienced in the last couple of decades - a triumphant comeback! Since Ellie started out as a form of pet, the name is sweet and unassuming. It's not as popular as Ella, but it's Ellie 's top scorer. Perhaps a perfect compromise between the two. We would recommend that parents consider giving the child a longer name (such as Eleanor, Eloise, or even Isabelle), where Ellie still works as a nickname. This gives the girl the opportunity to extend her name in adulthood, something a little more sophisticated should be sought. All around her, however, Ellie is a beloved option.
