Elijah, a powerful biblical name with heavy meaning, comes from the Hebrew name Eliyyahu and is derived from the Hebrew elements el and yah, both of which refer to the Hebrew God. Therefore, it translates to "my God is Yahweh." It has been listed in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names every year since 1900, but didn't crack the top-100 until 1995 and has now been a top-five boy's name every year since 2019. It's the name "Glee" star Heather Morris chose for her son, born in 2013, as well as the name Elton John chose for his son, Elijah Joseph Daniel, born in 2013.
