Elsworth Origin and Meaning

The name Elsworth is a boy's name.

Elsworth is a masculine name with English origins, derived from an Old English surname meaning 'Ella's estate' or 'Ella's farm.' The name combines 'Ella,' a personal name, with 'worth,' denoting a settlement or homestead. With its distinguished sound and traditional feel, Elsworth projects reliability and steadfastness. The name has never been particularly common, maintaining a consistent but low profile throughout history. Elsworth offers versatility with nickname options like 'Els,' 'Elly,' or 'Worth.' It appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth and a sophisticated English quality. While similar to the more common Ellsworth (with two L's), this single-L variant maintains a slightly more distinctive character.
