Elliot
Encyclopedia
Elliot is a personal name
which can serve as either a surname
or a given name
. Although the given name was historically given to males, females named Elliott have seen an increase in recent years. The origin of the surname is obscure, perhaps due to much of the genealogy of the Eliott clan
being burnt in the destruction of the castle at Stobs in 1712 AD. The clan society usually accepts that the name originated from the town and river Elliot
in Angus, Scotland. Some other sources suggest it may be derived from a French
form of Elias
, which is itself derived from the biblical name "Elijah". Other sources claim that the Scottish surnames (Eliott, Elliot) originate from the Ellot Scottish border-clan, from a transformation of the name Elwold. There are also records in the Domesday Book
of the name spelled "Ailiet", thought to originate from an old English name "Adthelgeat" (meaning "noble gate") and leading to the English and Scottish given name speller "Elyat", which in turn leads to the modern alternative spelling of the name "Elyot".
It is generally agreed that spelling of the surname originated in the early 13th century as "Eliot" as there is reference to "Geoffrey Eliot", Abbot of Hyde in documents linked to the creation of the Magna Carta. Later, around the 15th century (although the precise dates are unknown) derivations began to appear and now the original spelling is relatively uncommon.
