Ellie is a short form of a number of names that start, end or have the syllable ~el in their name. For example girls with the name Elizabeth, Ella, Helen, Rachel, Adelaide, Ellen, Melody, Melissa, Eleanor, Melanie may be nicknamed as Ellie. As a result the name is one of the most commonly found in verbal usage, though it may not be used as often for official purposes.

The name Ellie in itself is said to signify light and radiance and is of Old German origin.
