Historical Context

Elliette is a modern spelling, most plausibly formed as a feminine elaboration of Elliott, with an ending reminiscent of French names such as Juliette. Elliott developed in English as a surname and given name, ultimately connected with medieval forms of Elias, a form of the Hebrew name Elijah. The exact history of Elliette as a separate spelling is not well documented, but its connection with the Elliott and Elijah name family explains its established traditional meaning.
