There is a newcomer in your midst with baby’s arrival! Ellender is a beautiful gender-neutral name of Old German origin, derived from the German word ellende meaning “newcomer,” “stranger,” or “foreigner.” But, baby won’t be a stranger for long after you gift them this lovely new name. Aptly, this name is somewhat of a hidden gem and will sound foreign to many people. But baby Ellender is sure to make its virtues widely known, along with some help from actress Blake Ellender Lively! Nickname options include El, Ellie, Ellen, and Ender!
