What is the meaning of the name Rellis ?

Rellis is English in Origin.

Rellis is a rare given name that likely developed as a reshaping of Ellis, the English/Welsh form of Elias/Elijah. In that pathway, it inherits the Hebrew meaning “my God is Yahweh” (Eliyahu). The spelling also overlaps with Greek surnames such as Rellis/Rallis and, more distantly, with Latin Aurelius (“golden”), so in some families the name may reflect a Greek surname transfer or a nod to Aurelius rather than the biblical line - context determines the intended meaning.

As a first name, Rellis appears sporadically in English‑language records from the late 19th and 20th centuries, often as a family‑name honorific, and remains uncommon today. Usage skews masculine but is essentially unisex. Variants and relatives include Relis, Relliss (rare), and especially Ellis; cognates, if the Latin route is intended, include Aurelius and Aurelio/Aurelia. Short forms Rell and Rel are intuitive nicknames.
