The Elliott surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

ELLIOTT. A name of doubtful orioin. A William Allot came into England with the Conqueror, and the name seems to be connected with Alis and Ellis. But Hals, speaking of the Eliots (Lord St. Germain's family), says: " These gentlemen I take to be of Scots original and so denominated from the local place of Eliot, near Dundee." D. Gilbert's Cornwall, ii. 66. The name, though very widely spread, certainly seems in most instances to have come from N. Britain, where a great clan so called existed.
