Eliya

Eliya is a Hebrew masculine name derived from the elements El, meaning God, and Yah, a shortened form of the divine name YHWH, giving the overall sense of my God is Yahweh. It is the direct Hebrew form of the name borne by the influential biblical prophet who challenged the prophets of Baal and was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire, known in English as Elijah. The name remains in use across Hebrew-speaking and Jewish communities as well as among Arabic-speaking Christians and Muslims. Closely related forms include Elijah, Elia, Ilya, and Elias.
