My favorite E names

[UNIQUE/ UNCOMMON NAMES]
  1. Elowen
    • Origin:

      Cornish
    • Meaning:

      "elm"
    • Description:

      A beautiful modern Cornish nature name that is rapidly picking up steam in the States: even spawning variant spellings like Elowyn and Elowynn. In its native region, it wasn't widely used as a name before the twentieth century, when the Cornish language was revived. A fresh and magical member of the fashionable El- family of names, it has a pleasant, evocative sound.
  2. Elspeth
    • Origin:

      Scottish variation of Elizabeth
    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"
    • Description:

      Elspeth is one of those names that never quite made it out of the British Isles--particularly Scotland, but possesses a winningly childlike charm. Elspeth was used by Sir Walter Scott for several of his female characters.
  3. Estella
    • Origin:

      Latinate form of Estelle
    • Meaning:

      "star"
    • Description:

      Estella is a pretty Latin name, most notably associated with the character in Dickens's Great Expectations, adopted and raised to reek Miss Haversham's revenge on men. With the popularity of Stella, Ella, Esther, and Esme, however, the elaborate Estella has also been making moves up the US charts in recent years.
  4. Elliot
    • Origin:

      Anglicization of Elijah or Elias
    • Meaning:

      "Jehovah is God"
    • Description:

      Elliot is another traditional boy name used for girls", a trend led by political commentator George Stephanopoulos and his actress wife Ali Wentworth.
  5. Ellia
    • Origin:

      Elaboration of Ella
    • Description:

      Ellia is one of the newer entries in the extremely popular El group of names for girls, which includes Ella, Ellie, Elle and so on, as well as L-starting names such as Lillia. Nearly 100 baby girls were named Ellia last year, but we're afraid that the name will not sound as distinctive as it should due to so many other girls with similar names.
  6. Elizabella
    • Origin:

      English combination of Eliza + Bella
    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God + beautiful"
    • Description:

      Elizabella is a much more obscure smoosh than sisters Isabella and Annabelle, but the megapopularity of Isabella may give this unusual combo name a boost.
  7. Elyza
    • Description:

      Elyza is a feminine name that emerged as a contemporary variant spelling of Eliza, which itself is a shortened form of Elizabeth. Elizabeth derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance." The 'y' spelling gives Elyza a modern twist on the classic name while maintaining its elegant sound and historical connections. This spelling variation became more common in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as parents sought unique spellings of traditional names. While less common than Eliza, Elyza offers the same pleasant sound and rich heritage with a slightly more distinctive appearance, appealing to those who want a recognizable yet somewhat uncommon name.
