The baby name Elizah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ɪˈlaɪzə/ (ih-LY-zuh).
Elizah is Hebrew in Origin.
Elizah blends two Hebrew-rooted traditions into a single modern form. As a creative English respelling, it can point to Elijah (Hebrew Eliyahu), the biblical prophet, yielding the meaning "Yahweh is my God," or to Eliza/Elizabeth (from Hebrew Elisheva), meaning "God is my oath." This ambiguity gives Elizah a flexible, spiritual resonance while remaining sleek and contemporary.
Use has risen in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially in English-speaking countries, where Elizah functions as a gender-neutral alternative to Elijah or Eliza. Related forms and variants include Elijah, Eliyah, Elias, Élie, and Elia on the Elijah line; and Eliza, Elisa, Elise, Elizabeth, Isabel/Isabelle, and Élisabeth on the Elizabeth line. Common nicknames are Eli, Liz, Liza, and Ziah. The shared Hebrew theophoric element El-/Eli- ties these branches together, anchoring Elizah’s meaning in devotion to God.
