tribal name; see Jocelyn), and the female personal name
A{dh}elg¯{dh} (composed of the elements a{dh}el
‘noble’ + g¯{dh} ‘battle’). The Middle English name seems
also to have absorbed various other personal names of Old English or
Continental Germanic origin, as for example Old English
Ælfweald (see Ellwood).English: from a pet form
of Ellis.Scottish: Anglicized form of the originally
distinct Gaelic surname Elloch, Eloth, a topographic
