Meaning & Origin
Eliasz is the Polish form of Elijah, the Hebrew name Eliyahu meaning "my God is Yahweh" or "the Lord is my God." Elijah was one of the greatest prophets in the Hebrew Bible — a towering figure who challenged King Ahab, defeated the prophets of Baal, and was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire.
For Polish Jewish and Polish Catholic families alike, Eliasz preserves the name's prophetic heritage in its authentic Polish form. As Elijah experiences a major revival in the United States, Eliasz offers a distinctive, internationally rooted alternative with the same powerful resonance.
