Meaning & origin
Elliette is a modern feminine variant of Elliott, a name that has been adapted to suit contemporary naming trends. The name first appeared on U.S. records in 1997, and it peaked in popularity in 2019, before beginning a gradual decline, falling in rank each year since 2020. Elliette is most popular in the states of Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The name's sound, with its -ette ending, places it among a group of fashionable names like Juliette and Colette, offering a softer twist on the more traditional Elliott. It remains a less common choice, with about 1 in every 20,000 baby girls receiving the name in 2025. Elliette has no single established meaning but carries the connotations of its root name.
Elliette is a modern coinage, blending the sound of the surname and given name Elliott with the fashionable French diminutive suffix -ette. Elliott itself derives from the Old French name Elyat, a diminutive of Elie (from Hebrew Eliyahu, meaning 'my God is Yahweh'). The name first appeared on U.S. birth certificates in the late 1990s, reflecting a trend of creating feminine variants of traditionally masculine names.
