Eliot is French in Origin.
Eliot is a streamlined English form of Elliot/Elliott, from Old French Eliot/Elyot, a medieval diminutive of Elias (the Greek rendering of Hebrew Eliyahu/Elijah), meaning “Yahweh is my God.” Variant spellings include Elliott, Elliot, Eliott, and Elyot; modern feminine elaborations such as Elliotte also appear. Short forms include Eli and, less commonly, Lio/Leo.
Attested in medieval records across England and Normandy, the name moved between given name and surname, notably among the Scottish Border Elliots. As a first name, it gained traction in the 18th–19th centuries and has enjoyed steady modern use. Literary associations are strong: poet T. S. Eliot and the novelist George Eliot (pen name of Mary Ann Evans) cemented its cultured aura. Today Eliot reads crisp and unisex, used throughout the English-speaking world and parts of Europe; it remains rarer than Elliott/Elliot while sharing their meaning and heritage.
