Ellsie Origin and Meaning

The name Ellsie is a girl's name.

Ellsie is a charming feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Elsie, which itself originated as a diminutive of Elizabeth or Elsa. With Scottish and English roots, the name carries a sweet, vintage quality reminiscent of the early 20th century. The distinctive double-L spelling gives Ellsie a unique touch while maintaining its connection to more traditional forms. The name conveys a gentle, nostalgic character with associations of kindness and warmth. Ellsie peaked in popularity during the early 1900s before declining, but has seen renewed interest amid the revival of vintage names. Today, it appeals to parents seeking names with historical charm but a slightly unconventional spelling that sets their child apart.
