Eli means God Is Yahweh.
Related to the Arabic Ali(1).
It can also be short for Elias and Elisabeth / Elizabeth.
The name Eli is often used as a nickname for Elisa in Germany. It is pronounced el-i.
Surely, Eli & Ely are also abbreviations of Elias/Eliah/Elijah, so they must have more meaning than "ascension" - what about the fiery prophet?
Surely, they may simply have the same root.
