From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Elliott yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
The two-T spelling is the less common of the pair, and it is the one growing faster: up 39% over the decade against Elliot's 34%. Elliott records 2,219 births at rank 163, its best count arriving in 2019 and best rank in 2020. Together the spellings would place considerably higher than either does alone, which is the same measurement problem Madeline has. Present since 1880 with 67,925 births logged. The bearers split neatly by field — Elliott Smith, born 1969, Elliott Gould, the photographer Elliott Erwitt and the composer Elliott Carter — while Pierre Trudeau, born 1919, appears on a middle name. Two entries in this batch differing only by a consonant is itself evidence of how fragmented modern naming has become.
