Notes:

1. Whyte suggests Elliot, which can also be spelt Eliot/Elliott/Eliott, is derived from Old English names Aewald, Elwald, Elwold.

2. ONC gives the derivation of Elliot from a Norman surname, itself derived from an Old French male name Elie. This is in turn derived from an Old French form of Elias, the Greek for Elijah: Hebrew "Jehovah/Yahweh is my God".
