Real-world considerations
- Distinctive — #243 in the latest U.S. ranking.
- Spelling note: Elias.
- Ellis has two genuinely documented but distinct root traditions -- an English surname path back to Elias/Elijah, and a separate Anglicized-Welsh path from Elisedd -- and sources do not establish that one lane is more 'correct' than the other for any individual bearer.
