Elior

Meaning of Elior

Elior is a masculine Hebrew name composed of El (“God”) and or (“light”), signifying “my God is my light.” Rooted in biblical tradition, it resonates within Jewish communities and appeals to Latin American families for its melodic fit with Spanish phonology. US Social Security data record a steady rise: from five newborns in 2015 (rank 910) to 29 in 2024 (rank 895), reflecting growing interest among parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful choice. Pronounced el-yor (/ɛl.jɔr/), Elior bridges ancient heritage and modern sensibility, maintaining a modest but upward trajectory on today’s baby-name charts.
