Eladio is Greek in Origin.

Eladio is the Spanish form of the Late Greek personal name Helladios (Latin Helladius), built on Hellas, the classical name for Greece. Its meaning is “of Greece” or “Greek man,” a gentilic that became a given name in the eastern Mediterranean and then moved west through the Christian world.

Bearers appear in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, including bishops and martyrs, notably a 7th-century archbishop of Toledo, which helped establish the name in Iberia. Today it is found chiefly in Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin America, with regional variants such as Portuguese Eládio and Catalan Eladi; the learned Greek form Elládios and the Latin Helladius are seen in ecclesiastical or historical texts. Feminine forms include Eladia (Spanish) and Eládia (Portuguese). Though relatively rare in contemporary use, Eladio blends classical resonance with a dignified, traditional profile.
