Iliah is Hebrew in Origin.
Iliah is a rare cross-cultural variant ultimately rooted in Hebrew Eliyahu, “Yahweh is my God.” The pathway runs through Greek Elias and a wide Slavic/Georgian family - Russian Ilya, Bulgarian Iliya, Serbian/Croatian Ilija, Romanian Ilie, Georgian Ilia - alongside the English Elijah and the pan-European Elias/Elia. The final h in Iliah echoes Elijah while preserving the compact sound of Ilya, giving the name a familiar yet distinctive profile.
Usage traces to the biblical prophet Elijah, whose veneration in Jewish and Christian traditions propelled cognates across languages; Orthodox calendars (e.g., Ilinden/St. Elijah’s Day) sustained their popularity in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. In English-speaking countries Iliah remains uncommon, sometimes chosen as a gender-neutral spelling. Related forms include Elijah, Elias, Elia, Ilya/Ilia, Ilija, Ilie, and Ilja; short forms such as Eli are also seen.
