An uncommon American pick — distinctive and rare.
Ellya is a girl's baby name of American origin, a rare creative variant of Ella, the beloved name of Old German or Greek origin meaning 'all' or 'shining light' — the "-lya" ending giving it a slightly exotic, Slavic-influenced quality.
Ellya has 1+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2016.
