What Eliott means
Eliott means the Lord is my God. It carries the meaning of Elijah, from the Hebrew Eliyahu, which joins eli, my God, with Yah, the divine name, making it a statement of allegiance rather than a description.
Where Eliott comes from
Eliott descends from Elijah by a long route. The Hebrew Eliyahu became the Greek Elias and the medieval English Elis, which produced the surname Elliot and its many spellings. Those surnames returned to use as first names in the twentieth century, and French adopted the form with a single l and double t. A competing folk derivation from the Old English for "with strength and right" appears on some reference sites; it has no support and seems to have been invented to give the surname a native English story. The Elliot spelling dominates in Britain and America, where Eliott is rare, so the doubled t marks the French usage.
