Using a distribution map for surname Elliot to show migration.
As one can see the lighter blue shows two locations of the name.
The Breton Elliot, is felt to start from Wm de Aliot in France then Eliot in England then some became Elliot.
Where the Elwald name started with Elgwald in Denmark then became Elfwald to Elwald in England. Elwald then became Ellot, and by an inserting an “i” Elliot.
Though there are many other variants of Aliot from William de Aliot, in accordance to the distribution patterns, the Elliot variant has a higher likelihood to originated from Elwald.
