Name Meaning
English (Essex and London): from the Middle English personal names Aillet, Aliett, or Eliet, the main source of which is the common Old English female name Æthelgȳth, composed of the elements æthel ‘noble’ + gȳth ‘war’, but the much rarer Old English male name Æthelgēat, containing the tribal name Gēat, may also have contributed. See also Elliott and Ellett , with which this name may have been confused.
