The baby name Ellys is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɛlɪs/ (EL-iss).
Ellys is English, Welsh in Origin.
Ellys is a modern, stylish respelling of Ellis, a unisex given name and surname ultimately derived from the medieval Latin and Greek form Elias of Hebrew Eliyahu, meaning "Yahweh is my God." In some families it also reflects the French/Germanic Elise (from Elisabeth), yielding the parallel meaning "pledged to God" or "my God is an oath." This dual pathway explains why Ellys appears for both boys and girls and why pronunciation may follow either Ellis or Elise patterns in different regions.
As a surname spelling, Ellys is documented in early modern England (e.g., MP Sir Richard Ellys; painter John Ellys), and the form has been revived as a given name in the Anglophone world, especially amid the late-20th-century rise of Ellie/El- names. Related variants include Ellis, Elis, Elys, Elyse, Ellyse, Elise, and Elisse; short forms Ellie and Elly are common. Ellys balances traditional roots with contemporary flair.
