Ellise

Girl name · 34 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ellise: 34 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 1999.

A modern, melodic spin on a classic, Ellise is predominantly a variant of Elise, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning “God is my oath.” This elegant spelling offers a fresh take on the traditional Elizabeth lineage while retaining its timeless devotion. American singer-songwriter Ellise (born Ellise Gitas) has brought the name into the contemporary pop spotlight, and the similar Ellis has also gained popularity as a unisex choice. Though no major places bear the name directly, its root appears in countless locations named Elizabeth. Ellise remains a relatively rare but increasingly appealing pick in Scotland, offering a familiar yet distinctive alternative to the more common Elise or Eloise.
