When we think of names that start with "El-," the common option is Elijah, or Eli for short. If you're finding yourself drawn to El- boy names, but don't want to opt for a name that's more common in the everyday vernacular, why not try out Ellis? There's something about it that's unique, yet familiar. As noted by Nameberry, Ellis is of English and Welsh origin, and is more common as a last name than a first name.
But don't let that detract you from giving this unique name its due diligence — Ellis could be a great first name, especially paired with a single-syllable middle name. Ellis Jae, Ellis Lee, and so many more, are great names that have a unique flare that is sure to stand out. What's more is that the name Ellis made it on Baby Names' Cool and Unique Baby Names list for 2021, meaning that it certainly isn't declining in baby-swag status.
And if stats are your thing, only 0.055% of male babies born in 2020 were named Ellis, and the name peaked in popularity back in 2017, as noted by the Social Security Administration. So if originality is what you're looking for, Ellis is the option for you.
