From the OED:
"A measure of length varying in different countries. The English ell = 45 in.; the Scotch = 37ยท2; the Flemish = 27 in. Now only historical or with reference to foreign countries, the English measure being obsolete.
The diversity of meanings is common to all words denoting linear measures derived from the length of the arm; cf. CUBIT and L. ulna. The word ell seems to have been variously taken to represent the distance from the elbow or from the shoulder to the wrist or to the finger-tips, while in some cases a 'double ell' has superseded the original measure, and has taken its name."
