History & Origin
Elliett is one of several softened respellings of Elliott that American parents began choosing for daughters as the surname-style name crossed to girls. Its meaning is inherited from Elliott and ultimately Elijah, the Lord is my God. It appeared only faintly, touching a small high around 2017.
The name was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak, and it stayed a rare, contemporary pick throughout the twenty-tens. A girl named Elliett at that high would still be a young child today. It reads as part of the wider move of Elliott and its variants onto the girls' side.
