The name Ellis, which can be a given (fore) name or a surname, comes from the Greek name Elias. Elias in turn came from the Hebrew name Elijah which meant "The Lord is my God"

In medieval England, Ellis was derived from the Hebrew personal name Elijah, or the Greek Elias, meaning 'Jehova is God'.

since ellie is a nickname for Eleanor and Eleanor means shining light then im guessing it means shining light too or at least something like that.(my name is ellie so i know this stuff)

Ellie isn't just a name for Eleanor, it's also for Elizabeth. Plus, the correct meaning of Ellie is Torch.
