Lias

Lias is a Swedish given name functioning as a short form of Elias, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Eliyyahu, meaning my God is Yahweh or my God is the Lord. The name Elias was borne by the biblical prophet Elijah, whose story spread widely through Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition. Lias represents the informal, clipped form that developed in Scandinavian usage alongside the fuller form Elias. Related names include Elias, Elijah, and Ilias.
