Eliades

Eliades is a surname of Greek origin. It is a patronymic name formed from the given name Elias (the Greek form of Elijah) with the suffix -ides, which denotes descent or lineage, roughly translating to "son of Elias." The spelling Eliades is common in English-language contexts, with variants such as Eliádēs, Eliádes, and Elliadēs arising from transliteration from Greek.

In Greece and Cyprus, Eliades occurs among families tracing paternal lines to the medieval or early modern periods, and it spread through Greek migrations and diaspora communities. Today, it is found among Greek communities in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere.

As a patronymic surname, Eliades does not indicate a profession or place of origin; rather, it signals ancestral connection to a person named Elias. Bearers of the name have pursued a wide range of occupations, including academia, business, the arts, and sports.

Spelling and pronunciation vary by language and transliteration conventions, and the name may appear in records under alternate forms such as Eliadēs or Eliades, depending on the orthography used.
