Meaning and background

The story behind Eliott

Eliott is a documented variant of Elliott, retaining one l in the middle and two t letters at the end. The reference gives a three-syllable English reading. That makes spelling the main practical distinction when comparing these related forms for a dog: someone hearing the name may write a different version without realizing it. Use Eliott consistently if it is the form you prefer or the spelling of a person being honoured. The difference in letters does not establish an independent meaning.

Origin
Variant of Elliott, with one l and two final t letters. Source
