Eliah is Hebrew in Origin.
Eliah is a streamlined variant of Elijah, ultimately from Hebrew ’Eliyahu, combining ’El “God” and Yah(u), the divine name, to mean “Yahweh is my God.” The biblical prophet Elijah (9th century BCE) cemented the name’s stature in Jewish and Christian tradition, and related forms are honored in Islam as Ilyas. Eliah appears as a spelling in some English Bible genealogies and has gained modern appeal for its concise look and gentle sound, used for both boys and, increasingly, girls.
International variants include Elijah (English), Elias (Greek/Latin route; also German and Scandinavian), Élie (French), Elías (Spanish/Icelandic), Elia (Italian and unisex in several languages), Eliyahu (Hebrew), Ilyas (Arabic), Ilya/Ilia/Ilija (Slavic/Balkan), and Eliasz (Polish). Common short forms are Eli and, less often, Lijah. Related feminine counterparts include Elia and the elaboration Eliana. Eliah offers deep theological roots with a contemporary, cross-cultural profile.
