Ellie is a familiar English diminutive used for names such as Eleanor, Ellen and Elizabeth. Its sweetness and simplicity have helped it become a well-loved standalone choice too.
Although Ellie began as a nickname form, it is now widely used in its own right. Its rise in the United Kingdom during the 1990s helped establish it as a modern favourite.
