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 compound meaning my God is Yahweh or Yahweh is my God. It is the direct Hebrew form of the name borne by the biblical prophet Elijah, who appears in the Books of Kings as a fierce champion of monotheism in ancient Israel. The name has been used across Jewish, Arabic, and various Eastern Christian communities, reflecting its broad Semitic heritage. Related forms include Elijah, Ilya, Elia, and Eliyas.
