Elliotte is English in Origin.

Elliotte is a modern elaboration of Elliot/Elliott, a given name and surname that traces to the medieval forms Eliot/Elyot, themselves diminutives of Elias. Through Old French Élie and the Greek Elias, the line reaches Hebrew Eliyyahu, yielding the meaning “Yahweh is my God.” Some scholars also connect the surname Elliott to the Scottish Borders clan name Elwald, though the Elias route remains the prevailing etymology. The final -e in Elliotte lends a French-inflected look, often chosen to mark the name as feminine, yet the spelling is used for all genders.

Carried to Britain by the Normans, the Eliot/Elyot forms appear in Middle English records and later became a sturdy Border surname before returning to given-name use in the 19th century. Literary visibility via T. S. Eliot helped the simpler spellings; modern variants include Elliot, Elliott, Eliot, Eliott, and the medieval Elyot/Elyott. Nicknames include Eli and Ellie.
