Ellison is from the Old English — son of Elias; from the Hebrew Eliyāhū (the prophet Elijah). Pharrell Williams's son Rocket Ayer Williams has Ellison as a family name. Sean Ellison — Marvel Comics character.
Ellison does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Ellison reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
