Eliaz
Meaning of Eliaz
Eliaz is a masculine given name rooted in the Hebrew Elyahu, meaning “My God is Yahweh,” which passed through Greek and Latin traditions and appears in Spanish as Elías. As a modern variant, it preserves its connection to the Old Testament prophet Elijah while offering a streamlined spelling and clear pronunciation—ee-LY-az (/iːˈlaɪ.æz/). U.S. Social Security data show that Eliaz has held a modest but steady spot among newborn boys since the late 1990s, ranking between roughly 790 and 920 nationally and recorded 18 occurrences in 2024. Its ongoing use, particularly within Hispanic communities, underscores a broader interest in names that marry classical resonance with contemporary simplicity.
