My God is Yahweh
Elija is a variant of the Hebrew name Elijah, which appears in the Old Testament as a major prophet. The name is composed of the Hebrew elements 'El' (God) and 'Yah' (the Lord), signifying a strong religious devotion. While the spelling with an 'h' is the standard English form, this version is sometimes found in German or Slavic contexts.
