Elias Family History
Elias Name Meaning
Greek, Spanish (Elías), Catalan, Portuguese, English,
Welsh, French (Élias), German, Dutch, Hungarian
(Éliás), Czech (Eliáš), and Jewish: from a
medieval personal name, the New Testament Greek form of Hebrew
Eliyahu ‘Jehovah is God’ (Anglicized as Elijah in the
Old Testament of the King James Bible). This name was borne by a
Biblical prophet, but its popularity among Christians in the Middle
Ages was a result of its adoption by various early saints, including a
7th-century bishop of Syracuse and a 9th-century Spanish martyr.
