Ellie-Grace

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ellie-Grace: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2014.

Ellie-Grace is a modern compound name that pairs two well-established favourites. Ellie began as a diminutive of Eleanor or Ellen, which derive from the Greek Helene, meaning “torch” or “moon”, or from the Hebrew for “God is my light”. Grace comes from the Latin gratia, meaning “favour” or “thankfulness”, and rose to popularity among Puritans as a virtue name. Notable bearers include the British actress Ellie-Grace Greaves, known for her stage work, and the name carries a soft yet spirited feel. The place Ellie is a village in Fife, Scotland, though the name itself has no direct place connection. This combination has become especially popular in Scotland since the late 1990s, reflecting a trend for hyphenated names that blend traditional charm with individual flair.
