<p>Elie is a versatile name used for both boys and girls, though this entry focuses on its feminine usage. As a female name, it's often a short form of Elizabeth, Eleanor, or Ellen, originating from Hebrew elements meaning "God is my oath." In French contexts, the pronunciation (eh-LEE) gives it a particularly elegant quality. While simple, Elie has a sophisticated charm that works well internationally. The name has gained modest popularity as parents seek shorter, less fussy alternatives to traditional longer names. When used for girls, Elie offers a subtle feminine quality while maintaining a certain strength and simplicity. Its brevity makes it distinctive among more elaborate feminine names while still connecting to traditional naming heritage.</p>
