Élija

Élija is a given name that appears in several language communities, typically used as a feminine form and often treated as a variant of Elijah/Elija. The name derives from the Hebrew Eliyahu, meaning "My God is Yahweh." In different linguistic traditions, feminine forms of Elijah take various spellings, including Élija, Élia, Elia, and Elija. The diacritic marks in these spellings reflect orthographic conventions of the language in which they are used, and the form may occur in Baltic, Romance, or Slavic contexts depending on local practice.

Usage and distribution of Élija are relatively limited, and the spelling does not correspond to a single, widely established given name in one country. When it does occur, it is often within smaller communities or families that favor Hebrew-derived names. The form may also appear in literary or fictional contexts.

Notable people: There are no widely recognized individuals with the exact spelling Élija documented in major encyclopedias or global name registries. The name may exist in local records or private use but lacks widely publicized bearers.
