Meaning & origin
Eliott is a variant spelling of Elliott, derived from the Hebrew name Elijah, meaning 'my God is Yahweh.' The name has been in use in the United States since at least 1888, though it has never been common. It reached its peak rank of 2,304 in the latest year, placing it among rarer choices. The spelling with two t's has been rising in popularity since 1985, particularly in states like California and Texas. With a classic yet underused feel, Eliott appeals to parents seeking a traditional name that stands out from the more common Elliott.
Eliott is a French and English variant of the biblical name Elijah, which derives from the Hebrew Eliyahu, meaning 'My God is Yahweh.' The name was introduced to England by French-speaking Normans after the Conquest and has been used as a surname before becoming a given name. The double-t spelling is especially common in Scotland and France.
