Ellyn

Ellyn is a girl given name and the meaning of Ellyn is 'torch' (from the Greek helén/v) and 'beautiful', 'light', 'bright', and 'shining' (from the Greek hlios/ meaning sun, sunlight, and sunshine). The name is perhaps derived from the ancient Greek word 'seln', which means 'moon'. Ellyn is a Greek name that translates to 'other, alien or sunbeam'. It is a diminutive form of Eleanor in both Old French and Old German cultures and is viewed as a variant for such Greek names as Ellen and Helen. Ellyn, although a classic name, appears to adhere to the contemporary trend of replacing an 'i' with a 'y' in girls' names, and the name is not so popular. Ellyn Satter is one famous individual with this name. She is a family therapist and registered dietitian renowned for developing and disseminating wholesome food and feeding habits that promote well-being for people of all ages through her book, Feeding with Love and Good Sense.
