Ellick is English, Scottish in Origin.
Ellick is an English and Scots vernacular diminutive of Alexander, moving through the pet form Alec/Alick. It ultimately descends from Greek Alexandros, built from alexein "to defend" and aner/andros "man," yielding the meaning "defender of men" or "protector." The -ll-/-ck spelling reflects regional pronunciation captured in parish registers and family papers; as a surname, Ellick also appears, but the given-name use tracks with Alec/Alick traditions.
In 18th-19th century Britain and North America, Ellick and the close variant Elick surface as informal call-names that sometimes became formalized on records. Usage is most visible in Scotland, Ulster Scots communities, Appalachia, and the American South, where it may be occasionally conflated with Alec or, less often, Elijah. Variants and related forms include Elick, Allick, Alick, Alec, Alex, Sandy, and Zander; feminine counterparts are Alexandra, Alexa, and Alexis.
