Eleya is in Origin.

Eleya is a modern feminine given name with several plausible roots. It can be read as a variant of Eliya/Elia from the Hebrew Eliyahu, yielding the theophoric meaning “my God is Yahweh.” In Basque, the related form Elea literally means “the word/speech,” and Eleya functions as an embellished spelling. It also overlaps with Elaya/Alaya: in Sanskrit alaya denotes “abode, refuge,” while the Arabic/Hebrew Aliyah line conveys “ascent, exalted.” Common short forms include Ellie and Lia; variants include Elea, Elaya, Elia, Elya, Elya, and Alaya.

Usage is sparse before the late twentieth century and grows with contemporary taste for liquid sounds and -ya endings. Eleya appears in Anglophone and European registries as a distinctive alternative to Ella, Eliana, or Aaliyah, and is occasionally coined as a blend of Ella + Lia. Its cross-linguistic echoes give it layered, gently spiritual connotations.
