Ellie

Most often used as a diminutive in English (commonly for names like Elizabeth, Eleanor, or Ellen), and also used as a standalone given name.

Ellie is a feminine name extremely common in English, both as a nickname and as a standalone given name. It is often used as a short form for names such as Elizabeth, Eleanor, or Ellen, but many people are named Ellie directly. From an etymology standpoint, Ellie is best understood as an English diminutive built around the “El-” opening sound. That means the deeper historical roots vary by the longer name in a particular family. Pronunciation is typically EL-ee (two syllables). Ellie is the most common spelling and Elly is a known variant; Elle is a related short form.

Etymology: Developed in English as a nickname form based on the 'El-' sound; its historical roots depend on which longer name it shortens.
