Ellis - girl or boy?

[Writerz34]

Do you think of Ellis being a girls or boys name?

(There are people of both genders with the name but wondering what comes to mind)

I know 3 BOYS called Ellis... Well, men really. 21, 25, and 31.

Not a girls name. (IMO.)

The Welsh ones that I know are Elis

I immediately think boys’ name, despite my only actual references being Ellis Peters (pen name of a female novelist) and my female next door neighbour is an Ellis as well!

Somewhat common as a surname in Wales too so obviously a boy's name for me.
Ellis as a girl would be like Robin or Morgan as a girl for me - something I know can exist in some places.

Both exist. Elis is just a more phonetically Welsh way of spelling it. The surname is more often with the double l.

I know of 1 female Ellis vs 4 boys named Ellis so my first thought it definitely boy.
The males are relatively young (oldest maybe 21) but the female is in her thirties now.

I thought it was more a girls name in the US

I know two women called Ellis - both in early 30s - and no boys/men. I think it's a really nice name for a girl - was surprised by how many see it a solely a boy's name!
