Elias

Elias is a masculine name and a variant of Elijah that appears in several languages. Ultimately, both Elias and Elijah derive from Eliyyahu, a Hebrew title meaning “my God is Yahweh" or "my God is the Lord." Elias is perhaps most associated with Elijah, the prophet and miracle worker from the Hebrew Bible. If you want to introduce baby to your faith or teach them to affirm their beliefs at every opportunity, the name Elias is sure to be very fitting. This moniker also lends itself perfectly to the short and sweet nickname Eli.
