ellory is English in Origin.
Ellory is a modern, gender-neutral variant of Ellery, an English surname turned given name. It traces primarily to medieval Hilary/Hilarie from Latin Hilarius “cheerful, merry,” later yielding the surname Ellery in southwestern England; it also intersects with Welsh Eleri, borne by early saints, which reinforced its use in Britain. As a result, Ellory carries the sense of “cheerful” or “joyful.”
As a forename, Ellery appeared intermittently for boys in the 18th–20th centuries and gained wider notice via Ellery Queen, the fictional detective and authorial pseudonym. Modern tastes for surname-style and soft-voweled names have shifted Ellory/Ellery into unisex territory, with rising use for girls in the 2000s. Variants and related forms include Ellery, Elleri, Eleri (Welsh), Ellorie, Ellori, Ellarie, Elory, and the traditional Hilary/Hilaria. Nickname possibilities span Elle, Ellie, Eli, and Rory.
