Ellerie is English in Origin.
Ellerie is a modern, largely feminine spelling of Ellery, a surname-turned-given name with layered roots. One line traces to Middle/Old English, likely from alor "alder" + leah "clearing," yielding the sense "alder grove." Another links it to Welsh Eleri, a name borne by early saints and thought to be a Celtic form of Latin Hilarius/Hilaria, "cheerful, merry." Both streams feed today’s usage, and Ellerie neatly echoes popular Ellie/Ella sounds while preserving surname sleekness.
As a family name, Ellery is long established in Cornwall and elsewhere; it began crossing into first-name use by the 18th-19th centuries, historically more male (cf. mystery writer Ellery Queen) before trending unisex and increasingly feminine in recent decades in the US, UK, and Australia. Variants include Ellery, Ellary, Ellarie, and Welsh Eleri; related forms are Hilary and Hilaria. Nicknames span Elle, Ellie, and Rie.
