Ellie-Anne

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ellie-Anne: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2004.

Ellie-Anne is a modern double-barrelled name with rich roots — Ellie most often stems from Eleanor or Ellen, which trace back to the Greek Helenē, meaning ‘light’ or ‘torch’, or from Elizabeth, Hebrew for ‘God is my oath’, while Anne derives from Hannah, meaning ‘grace’ or ‘favour’. In Scotland, this pairing has grown popular since the 1990s, reflecting a wider fondness for combining classic names. Notable bearers of the separate parts include Queen Anne, Britain’s last Stuart monarch, and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the powerful medieval queen; no famous Ellie-Anne has yet emerged. The name has no strong place connections, but it shares the ‘light’ root with Helen, giving it a luminous feel. Interestingly
