Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Nelli je osamostatnená domácka podoba s viacerými doloženými východiskovými menami. Nemá preto jediný všeobecne platný pôvodný význam. Pri odvodzovaní od Heleny sa tradične uvádza súvislosť s gréckym slovom pre pochodeň, pri Kornélii s rímskym rodovým menom Cornelius. Označenie disputed tu vyjadruje nejednoznačnosť pôvodu konkrétnej podoby, nie spor o existenciu doložených menných vetiev.
