Ilias is the modern Greek form of Elias, itself derived from the Hebrew name Elijah, meaning "my God is Yahweh." It’s a name carried through religious texts as the prophet who ascended to heaven in a chariot of fire. Famous bearers include the Greek playwright Ilias Venezis, a prominent 20th-century author, and Ilias Iliou, a respected Greek politician. The name also shares its roots with the village of Ilias in Greece, though no direct Scottish place connections exist. A further note: the Scottish Gaelic equivalent is Ilidh, making Ilias a cross-cultural choice that connects modern parents to biblical heritage while feeling fresh and international.
