Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Ellis

Meaning: (My God is the Lord, My God is Jehovah, Transferred use of the surname originating from the personal name Elis, a middle English variant pf Elisha (God is Salvation), Anglicization of Elias, from Elijah. Modern use is often a transferred use of the surname. In Wales the name is used as an anglicized form of the Old Welsh name Elisud, which derives from "elus" meaning "kind, benevolent". Ellis Bell was the pseudonym used by Emily Brontë; when she first began publishing, she chose a name that could be considered masculine.)

Origin: (English, Greek, Hebrew)

Pronunciation: (EH-lis, EL-iss)

Gender: Uni-Sex

Again can't recall why I thought to research and add this name but I did so it doesn't really matter, LOL. When I see this name I think of Ellis Island in New York. It's a strong great meaning name. Sorry for the lack of description but I am distracted watching the Closing Ceremony of the Olympics. It's pretty good so far.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
