Ella-Rose

Girl name · 174 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ella-Rose: 174 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 23 births in 2015.

Of English and Scottish origin, Ella-Rose is a modern compound name blending Ella, a diminutive of Eleanor or Ellen, with Rose, the floral name from Latin *rosa*. Ella gained popularity in the 19th century, while Rose has been a classic favourite. Notable bearers include Ella-Rose Woods, a young environmental activist from Scotland who campaigns for climate awareness. The place name Rosehearty in Aberdeenshire shares the floral root, while Ella itself has no major direct placename connections. This hyphenated style rose in popularity in the 2000s, reflecting a trend for combining two shorter, melodic names into a single given name that feels both delicate and distinctive.
