Ellary is in Origin.
Ellary is a contemporary spelling of Ellery, an English surname adopted as a given name. Etymology points to northern English place-names such as Elleray, built from Old Norse elri "alder" (dialectal "eller") + ey "island," giving the sense "alder/elder island." A parallel stream treats Ellery as a vernacular form of Hilary, from Latin Hilarius "cheerful, merry." Welsh Eleri, tied to a medieval saint, also intersects with this family.
As a first name it appears from the 19th century in Britain and the United States, with 20th century visibility boosted by the detective Ellery Queen; today Ellary is broadly unisex. Variants include Ellery, Ellerie, Elleri, Ellarie, and Welsh Eleri; related forms are Hilary/Hillary and Hilarie. Short forms Elle, Ellie, and Larry occur. Meanings offered to modern bearers are "alder/elder island" or "cheerful," reflecting the path chosen.
