Elliot
EL-ee-uht · 3 syllables
♂ Male ◎ Hebrew / English ◈ 3 syllables
"The Lord is my God"

From Hebrew / English

Elliot is Elliott's leaner twin — same God on high meaning, same E.T. connection, same gentle intelligence, but with a single-T that makes it slightly more streamlined on the page. Elliot Page came out as transgender in 2020, making this spelling a symbol of authentic self-expression. Mr. Robot's Elliot Alderson is TV's most complex hacker. Single-T efficiency.
