It would most usually be a swedish name for a male (Eli from Elias) but according to the almighty Wiki, Eli in Norway is a female name. and it could be short for Elisabeth or whatever, so it's not really gendered. And unusual enough that people can't ping male/female with 100% certainity if they just hear the name
