Those of the name Ellison in Ireland are given largely to be families of English descent. The works of Woulfe may differ from this, but we have no records to indicate otherwise. The family is found here in Ireland from the 17th century onward. The 19th century birth index places the family in counties Antrim and Down. Several families of the name can be found in and around Belfast in modern times and we find mention of the name in Kilkenny as well. The name Ellis is found in Dublin and Antrim in the 19th century.
Name Variations: Ellis, Ellison, Elison, Elliss, Ellys, Elis, Eliss, Elliason, Ellice, Elliff, Allice.
