Elytte is English in Origin.

Elytte is a modern French‑influenced elaboration and respelling of Eliette, the feminine diminutive of Élie (French for Elijah). Through this line it ultimately comes from the Hebrew Eliyahu, yielding the meaning “my God is Yahweh.” The spelling with y and double t also echoes the English surname‑given name Elliot/Eliot, historically derived from medieval variants of Elias (another form of Elijah), which helps explain the name’s unisex appeal in contemporary usage.

Documented mostly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Elytte remains rare but aligns with the revival of -ette endings and the surge of Elliot‑forms for girls. Closely related forms include Eliette, Éliette, Elyette, Eliette, Elliotte, Elliot, Eliot, Eliott, and the medieval Elyot. Familiar nicknames include Ely/Eli, Ellie, Etta, and Lettie. Parents drawn to a sleek, international look and an anchored biblical meaning may find Elytte a distinctive choice.
