In Israeli Hebrew it also appears as a friendly nickname for Eli or Eliyahu, names rooted in the Hebrew words for God and the declaration Yahweh is my God.

Within Georgia, the -iko suffix is a classic endearing formation (seen also in Niniko and Tamriko), and Eliko has been used as both pet name and independent feminine given name since the 20th century. Hebrew usage tends to be informal and masculine, echoing the broader trend of -iko nicknames such as Moshiko. Related and variant forms include Elene, Eleni, Elena, Helen, and Helena on the Greek/Georgian line, and Eli, Eliahu/Eliyahu, and Elik on the Hebrew line.
