Eliya

Eliya is a Hebrew name derived from the elements El, meaning God, and Yah, a shortened form of the divine name YHWH, giving the combined sense of my God is Yahweh or Yahweh is my God. It is the direct Hebrew form of the name borne by the major biblical prophet Elijah, who famously challenged the prophets of Baal in the First Book of Kings. The name has been used continuously in Jewish communities and across the broader Semitic-speaking world, including among Arabic-speaking Christians and in Aramaic traditions. Closely related forms include Elijah, Elias, Ilya, and Elia.
