Ellie

אֱלִי

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Jew-ish
• Meaning: my God
• The name Ellie, similar to Ella, has many possible roots, all full of meaning. It is considered the short form of Elizabeth, or Elisheva in Hebrew, meaning "my God is an oath." Alternatively, it can be considered a derivative of the Germanic name Eleanor. Another possibility yet is a derivative of Gabriella, the feminine version of the Hebrew name Gabriel meaning "man of God." Another Hebrew possibility is the short form of Elana, meaning "oak tree." Commonly used as a nickname for names like Eliana, Eliora, or Elisheva, Ellie has become a favorite in its own right.
