About the name Eliot
Eliot belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Eliot first appears in Social Security records in 1905. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #800 in 1960, and in 2024 137 babies received the name — 7,759 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
