Ellias
About Ellias
Ellias is a masculine name that represents a variation of the Hebrew name Elijah (Elias in its Greek form), meaning 'Yahweh is my God' or 'the Lord is my God.' This alternative spelling adds a distinctive touch to the more common Elias while maintaining its biblical connections and spiritual significance. While less common than Elias or Elijah, Ellias offers parents a slightly unique option that still carries the same rich heritage and dignified sound. The double 'l' creates a subtle difference in pronunciation for some speakers. Though not ranked among the top names in the U.S., Ellias follows the trend of parents seeking traditional names with personalized spellings.
Pronounced EL-yus.
As of October 2026, Ellias ranked #4435 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3281 in 2019.
