"Elias" is the translation in the 'King James' version of "Elijah":-

King James [1611]:-

Mat 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

NET Bible [1996]:-

Mat 16:14 They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

(After nearly 400 years a bit of variation is to be expected.)
