Yale scholars are called "Elis" as a nod to Elihu Yale, a Welsh merchant and philanthropist who was instrumental in the university's founding and development. He donated money and supplies to the Collegiate School in 1718, which later became Yale University. The term "Eli" has since become a nickname for Yale students and alumni, reflecting their connection to the institution's history.
