Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Eiliyah: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2012.

Eiliyah is a modern, lyrical name that arose as a creative variant of the more traditional Eliyah or Aliyah, which themselves derive from the Hebrew Eliyahu, meaning "my God is Yahweh." This elegant name has gained popularity in Scotland in recent years, reflecting a broader trend toward melodic, vowel-rich names. While there are no notably famous bearers of the exact spelling Eiliyah, it shares roots with the biblical prophet Elijah, a major figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The name’s sound also echoes the Arabic name Aliyah, meaning "sublime" or "exalted," giving it a multicultural appeal. As a variation, it offers a fresh, distinctive take on a classic while maintaining a graceful, flowing quality.
