Eliakime is Hebrew in Origin.

Eliakime is a rare Francophone variant of the Hebrew name Eliakim (Hebrew: Elyaqim), formed under French-influenced transliteration habits. The name derives from El (“God”) + yaqim, from the verb qum (“to raise, establish”), yielding the meaning “God will establish” or “God raises up.” In ancient sources it appears as Greek Eliakim (Septuagint) and Latin Eliacim (Vulgate); modern Hebrew typically uses Elyakim. The -e ending in Eliakime is uncommon but occurs in some French-language records and communities.

In the Hebrew Bible, bearers include Eliakim son of Hilkiah, steward to King Hezekiah (Isaiah 22; 2 Kings 18–19), and a son of King Josiah, later renamed Jehoiakim by Pharaoh Necho (2 Kings 23). The New Testament genealogies (Matthew 1:13) also mention an Eliakim. Usage today is rare but recognized across Jewish and Christian traditions. Related and variant forms: Eliakim, Elyakim, Elyaqim, Eliacim, and French Éliakim/Eliakime.
