Ellis [el-lis] as a boys' name (also used less widely as girls' name Ellis) is pronounced EL-iss. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Ellis is Jehovah is God. Anglicization of Elias, from Elijah, so shares the same source with Elliot. Modern use is often a transferred use of the surname.
Originally a short form of Germanic names that began with the element ermen meaning whole or universal. It was introduced to England by Emma of Normandy, who was the wife both of king Ethelred II (and by him the mother of Edward the Confessor) and later of king Canute. It was also borne by an 11th-century Austrian saint, who is sometimes called Hemma. After the Norman conquest this name became common in England. It was revived in the 18th century, perhaps in part due to Matthew Prior's poem 'Henry and Emma' (1709). It was also used by Jane Austen for the central character, the matchmaker Emma Woodhouse, in her novel 'Emma' (1816).
