History & Origin

Elliemay is a contemporary fusion of the traditional double name Ellie May. Ellie began as a pet form of Eleanor, Ellen and Elizabeth; May doubles as a month name and a diminutive of Mary or Margaret. Together they have long been used as a Southern-flavoured pairing, and the single-word spelling is the modern turn. Routes uncertain in detail, which we note (said 'EL-ee-may').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, homespun, and cheerful.

Did you know? Elliemay follows a fashion for smooshing double names into one word — Ellie May becoming Elliemay. Ellie comes from Eleanor or Ellen; May is both a month and a pet form of Mary, so the whole feels warm and springlike.
