What doesthe name Elijah mean?

Answer 1

From the Hebrew name אֱלִיָּהוּ ('Eliyyahu) meaning "my God is YAHWEH". Elijah was a Hebrew prophet of the 9th century BC, during the reign of King Ahab and his queen, Jezebel. The two Books of Kings in the Old Testament tell of his exploits, which culminate with him being carried to heaven in a chariot of fire. Because Elijah was a popular figure in medieval tales, and because his name was borne by a few early saints (who are usually known by the Latin form Elias), the name came into general use during the Middle Ages. In medieval England it was usually spelled Elis. It died out there by the 16th century, but it was revived by the Puritans in the form Elijah after the Protestant Reformation.

Answer 2

You question needs more specifics. You can find the story of the prophet Elijah in The Bible (1 Kings 17 - 2 Kings 2; also 2 Chronicles 21). He is also mentioned in the Quran (chapters 6 & 37).

Answer 3

as stated in Judaism beliefs, Elijah is a great name. They believe that not only was the historical Elijah a Champion for the Lord, but the name also comes from two favorite Hebrew words. The last portion, as you can see, is the first part of Yahweh's name, "Jah". The first part of the name comes from El, the Hebrew word that means "God". The name means "Yahweh is my God: Spiritual Champion"
