Shellie is traditionally a feminine name that has occasionally been used for males, though this is uncommon. Derived as a diminutive form of Michelle (for girls) or Sheldon (when used for boys), it ultimately traces back to Hebrew origins. The feminine usage comes from Michelle, meaning 'who is like God,' while masculine usage might connect to Sheldon, meaning 'valley with steep sides.' Popular primarily in the mid-20th century, Shellie peaked in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States. The spelling with 'ie' rather than 'y' gives it a distinctive touch. As a male name, Shellie remains extremely rare and might be considered gender-neutral by contemporary standards, though historical usage shows occasional precedent for male bearers.
