Elvis
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Elvis: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2021.
Best known for the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis has English origins as a variant of the Anglo-Saxon name Ælfwine, meaning "elf friend" (from *ælf* "elf" and *wine* "friend"). The name was rare before Elvis Presley shot to worldwide fame in the 1950s, making it virtually synonymous with his revolutionary music and style. While few places bear the name directly, the singer’s Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee, draws legions of visitors each year. Notable bearers also include the singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, who adopted the name as a stage homage. Beyond the spotlight, the name occasionally appears in families who simply love its vintage charm or its unexpected link to the old Germanic mythological elves.
