To strike out or omit
In English, the name is derived from the verb 'elide', meaning to omit or suppress a sound or syllable. It also has roots as a rare Italian name, likely a variant of Elida or a feminine form of Elidio, which may connect to the Greek region of Elis. It is currently a very rare choice in the United States, appealing to parents who like short, vowel-heavy names.
