Eliud

Meaning of Eliud

Eliud springs from Hebrew roots and carries the heartfelt meaning “My God is praise.” It first appears in the New Testament genealogy of Jesus and, over centuries, traveled through Greek and Latin into Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking homes. Today it sparkles in Kenya thanks to marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge, whose lightning feet brought the name to world stages. In the US, Eliud sits just under the top 900, a quiet star on baby charts that’s been steadily climbing since the early 2000s. Its smooth, two-syllable flow—EL-yood—feels like a warm breeze. And unlike some trendy picks, it won’t be elbowing dozens of Emilios at the playground. With a story of praise woven into its core, Eliud inspires every new beginning.
