Ilias is Hebrew in Origin.
Ilias is the Modern Greek form of Elias, ultimately from Hebrew Elijah (Eliyahu), meaning “Yahweh is my God.” Through the Septuagint and Byzantine usage, Ηλίας (Ilias) became standard across Greek-speaking communities and remains very common in Greece and Cyprus, where the Prophet’s feast (Profitis Ilias) sustains its popularity. The name traveled widely via Christian and later Islamic traditions; the Qur’an names the prophet as Ilyas, shaping forms in Arabic and Persian.
Variants include Elias, Elijah, Élie (French), Elías (Spanish), Italian Elia, Portuguese Elias, Slavic Ilija (Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian), Georgian Ilia, Russian Ilya, Turkish İlyas, Arabic Ilyas, and Somali Ilyaas. Medieval Latin/Norman Helias also appears, with English Ellis and Eliot related surnames. Short forms include Lias and Eli. The name conveys steadfast faith and a prophetic, ascetic legacy.
