Meaning: Of Ellery; Joyful, happy, cheerful

With a name that literally means “joyful,” your little Elleree couldn’t be anything but a bright light in people’s lives. A feminine name of Latin origin, Elleree has a few more vowel sounds than its more common variant, Ellery, but shares the same uplifting meaning! Both Elleree and Ellery are thought to derive from the Latin word hilaris, meaning “joyful,” “happy,” and “cheerful.” The word hilaris is also where the English adjective hilarious comes from, so expect many fun days ahead with your little joy-bringer.
