Scots Origin · A Border reiver surname
Elliott descends from one of the great Anglo-Scottish Border reiver clans, brought into Ulster in the early 1600s as part of the Plantation settlement. The name settled most heavily in Fermanagh and Monaghan — a newer arrival than most names in this library, though four centuries on the same ground is still long enough to belong to it.
A newer arrival than most names in this library, but four centuries on the same ground is still four centuries — long enough to be genuinely of the place now.
