解説 Definition
ヘブライ語由来の男性名。旧約聖書に登場する偉大な預言者の名前。
Elijah is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin and the English name of a major prophet in the Old Testament. It is also widely used as a personal name for people who are not necessarily being identified with the biblical figure.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Elijah はヘブライ語で「我が神はヤハウェ」を表す男性名で、聖書の預言者名として知られます。通常は Elijah と大文字で書き、英語の代表的な発音は /ɪˈlaɪdʒə/ です。ギリシャ語・ラテン語を経た形 Elias と関連付けつつ、別の預言者名 Elisha とは綴りも人物も区別しましょう。
Remember Elijah as both the name of an important Old Testament prophet and a modern masculine given name. Its Hebrew components express the statement “My God is Yahweh,” giving the name a clear religious foundation. In ordinary English, capitalize Elijah because it is a proper name; a common pronunciation is /ɪˈlaɪdʒə/. Link it with Elias, a form transmitted through Greek and Latin traditions. Keep Elijah separate from Elisha: both are biblical prophets with similar-looking names, but they refer to different people and come from different Hebrew names.

Elijah comes from Hebrew ʾEliyyahu, a personal name traditionally analyzed from elements meaning “my God” and “Yahweh.” The resulting sense is “My God is Yahweh.” The name belongs to a common Hebrew naming tradition in which a statement about God is built into a personal name. Greek and Latin biblical transmission produced the related form Elias, while Elijah became the established English biblical form and later a widely used masculine given name.
