About Elvis
Is there only one Elvis? Not anymore. Controversial YouTuber Trisha Paytas brought Elvis over to the girls' side when she used it for her daughter born in 2024. When she announced her pregnancy, Paytas said she would use the name Elvis regardless of her child's sex.

The exact origins of Elvis are unknown, but it may be related to a surname derived from Eloise. Elvis is also used as the Anglicized form of the unisex Irish name Ailbhe.

When the King was alive, and for years afterwards, few people (except Declan McManus who became Elvis Costello) dared use his singular name, but now it's very much up for grabs.
The name Elvis is connected to the Irish Ailbhe, and the Irish saint of that name is also known as Elvis of Munster.
There is also evidence that the name may originate from the old English Helwise, which in turn led to the surname Elwes.
Elvis was the middle name of the singer's dad, Vernon. Anthony Perkins, a big Elvis fan, gave the name to his now grown son in 1976. Other aficionados, such as Cindy Crawford, have opted for the surname Presley.
Pronounced EL-vis.
As of October 2026, Elvis ranked #16097 in US births in 2007 SSA, peaked at #2790 in 1935.
