Origin and meaning of Ilias

Ilias is the Greek form of the Hebrew Eliyyahu, 'my God is Yahweh', the name of the Old Testament prophet Elijah, a central figure in Greek Orthodox tradition tied to mountaintop chapels dedicated to him (Profitis Ilias). The name is extremely popular in Greece, valued both for its biblical weight and for its short, strong, direct sound that makes it easy to carry.
