History & Origin

Elliejo is a run-together double name. Ellie shortens Elizabeth ('my God is an oath'), Eleanor or Ella; Jo shortens Josephine ('God will add'). The one-word style is characteristically American, often Southern, and turns two casual nicknames into a single given name (said 'EL-ee-joh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, double-barreled, and homespun.

Did you know? Jo-endings have long given American double names their swing — Bettyjo, Marijo, and now Elliejo. Here Ellie (from Elizabeth or Eleanor) meets Jo (from Josephine), joined into one word, which we note honestly (said 'EL-ee-joh').
