Elian

Elian is most commonly understood as a form of the Hebrew name Elijah or a variant of the Latin Elianus, itself derived from the Roman family name Aelius, which may connect to a Greek root meaning sun. Some scholars also trace it to the Hebrew element El, meaning God, giving it a sense of "my God" or "God is Lord." The name has seen modern popularity in the Spanish-speaking world and gained brief international attention in the early 2000s. Related forms include Elianus, Elián, Elyon, and Elio.
