Lias

Lias is a Swedish given name that originated as a regional diminutive of Elias, itself the Latin and Greek form of the Hebrew name Eliyyahu, meaning my God is Yahweh. The shortening reflects a common Scandinavian colloquial pattern of clipping longer biblical names into familiar everyday forms. The full form Elias remains widely used across Scandinavia and Europe, while the Hebrew original gave rise to the English form Elijah.
