Nelly

Nelly is a feminine name of English, Latin, and Greek origins. This cute name is a short form of the more conventional Eleanor, Ellen, and Helen, but it can stand alone too, offering a fresh twist on the familiar titles. In Latin, Eleanor translates to "the other Aenor," connecting baby to an ancient name rich with history. Nelly can also come from Ellen and Helen, meaning "the bright one" or "shining light." With a name like this, Nelly can forge their own path as the only light they need comes from within.
