Where did the Irish Elliott family come from? What is the Irish Elliott family crest and coat of arms? When did the Elliott family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Elliott family history?

The Pictish clans of ancient Scotland were the first people to use the name Elliott. It comes from living in Liddesdale and Teviotdale where the family has a long and distinguished history dating back to the early Middle Ages. The name is actually derived from the Old English personal name Elwald or Aelfwald, but this name is now all but extinct as a personal name.

First found in Liddesdale, and Teviotdale where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
