The Lord is my God
Iliyah is a modern phonetic variant of Elijah or Eliana, rooted in the Hebrew elements 'El' (God) and 'Yah' (the Lord). While it shares the same spiritual foundation as the traditional masculine Elijah, this spelling is used almost exclusively for girls. It has gained some traction as a cross-cultural choice, blending Hebrew roots with a soft, contemporary sound.
