Reference Profile

Etymology

The feminine form related to Ilyas, the Quranic prophet identified with the biblical Elijah, sent to a people who had turned to worshipping the deity Ba'al.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.

Cultural / Regional Usage

Used across the Muslim world, particularly as a girl's name.
