The name Ilyas is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Prophet', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Ilyas has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ilyas is the Arabic form of the Hebrew name Eliyahu (Elijah), a compound meaning “My God is Yahweh.” He is mentioned in the Quran (6:85, 37:123) among the righteous prophets.
