History & Origin
Ellaney is a modern coinage. Its first half is Ella, a short name of Germanic and Norman background that has been used independently in England since the Middle Ages and is often linked to the element ali ('other') or used as a pet form of Eleanor and Ellen. Its ending borrows the -ney of Delaney and Laney, a very productive modern pattern. Ellaney itself has no older documented history, which we note plainly (said 'EL-uh-nee').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, light, and newly coined.
