Ellis Genealogy & History
Ellis comes from the Greek Elias via the Crusades, which itself is derived from the Hebrew Eliyahu, which means "Jehovah is God". Many relatives of Crusaders named their children from the Old Testament to mark the journey their men had taken, though none of those efforts were actually successful. The first recorded piece of Ellis family history is the 1200 tax return of William Elyas, in Yorkshire. Probably the most famous part of Ellis genealogy is Ellis Island, named for the man who owned it before New York State leased it, Samuel Ellis, as well as former admiral James Ellis.
