Eliava

אֱלִיאָבָה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: my God is father

• Eliava is the feminine form of Eliav, a biblical name meaning "my God is father." It takes a devotional, deeply traditional Hebrew name and opens it up with a flowing feminine ending that feels at once romantic and grounded. If you haven't encountered this name before, you're not alone: it remains beautifully under the radar, even among families well-versed in Hebrew names.

  Musical and flowing, with the same quality that makes names like Arianna and Juliana so popular, Eliava stands apart with a Hebrew authenticity all its own. It feels undiscovered in the best possible way, offering a name your child is unlikely to share with three classmates. Rare, devotional, and undeniably beautiful — a showstopper waiting to be found.
