Ellerie

For your joyful little woodland nymph, Ellerie blends happiness with nature as a feminine name of several origins. A respelling of the surname Ellery, Ellerie inherits the British and Old Norse meaning “alder nook” for the little sapling who loves spending time amidst the trees. Ellerie also has roots in Latin and Greek, from Hilarius and Hilaros, aptly meaning “cheerful” and “merry” for baby’s beaming smile. Ellerie is tuneful and rhythmic, lending a musical title to the buoyant tot who can’t resist a happy dance in moments of triumph.
