Elide, derived from Latin 'elidere', meaning "to rub out", is a unique unisex given name of English origin. It is often associated with the literary concept of elision, wherein a sound or syllable is omitted in pronunciation, reflecting its phonetic nature. Elide is not typically found among popular names, making it distinctive and uncommon. Its usage can be attributed to its association with classical literature and linguistics, appealing particularly to those with an appreciation for language arts and academic pursuits.
