Elliot is the English form of Elias — from the Hebrew Eliyāhū (my God is Yahweh, the prophet Elijah). A top-500 US baby name (girls) since 2020. Elliott in E.T. was the highest-grossing film of all time for over a decade (1982-1993); voted #24 on AFI's 100 Greatest American Films; won four Academy Awards. T.S. Sam Elliott (born 1944) — male; American actor (A Star Is Born 2018 — Oscar nomination). Missy Elliott (born 1971) — American rapper. Elliot Page (born 1987) — Canadian Oscar-nominated actor.
Elliot does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Elliot reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
