About Ellsworth

One of the many El- names for boys that boomed in the 1910s and 1920s, but has long been out of fashion. This surname/place name has an aristocratic flavor, and a creative namesake in the artist Ellsworth Kelly. Polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth also gives it an adventurous connection.

Pronounced ELZ-wurth.

As of October 2026, Ellsworth ranked #7155 in US births in 2020 SSA, peaked at #296 in 1895.
