Elledge Family History
Elledge Name Meaning
English: perhaps a variant of Illidge a habitational name from Illidge Green in Brereton (Cheshire) which may derive from Middle English iw ‘yew tree’ + lech ‘boggy stream bog’. However there are no extant medieval forms for the placename and it is uncertain if it would have ever given rise to a surname. The medieval surname occurs many miles away in Warwickshire from where it appears to have spread into Shropshire Staffordshire and eventually Cheshire.
