Elliyah is Hebrew in Origin.
Elliyah is a modern English given name built on the Hebrew theophoric root of Elijah (Hebrew Eliyahu), meaning "my God is Yahweh" (from El, “God,” + the divine name Yah). The doubled l and -iyah ending align it with contemporary spellings like Eliyah/Elyah and with the friendly sound of Ellie, giving the name a soft, lyrical profile while anchoring it in the long biblical tradition of Elijah/Elia used across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic cultures.
In current use mostly in the Anglophone world since the early 2000s, Elliyah skews feminine and fits with creative Elijah–Ellie hybrids. Close variants and cognates include Elliah, Eliyah, Elyah, Eliah, Elia, Ilia, and Elijah. Nicknames include Ellie, Ella, and Lia. Though recent as a spelling, the name carries the enduring meaning "my God is Yahweh," linking a fashionable form to a venerable spiritual heritage.
