Elyon

Elyon is a term with multiple uses in different contexts. In religious literature, Elyon appears as a Hebrew phrase meaning “God Most High.” The form El Elyon combines El, a general word for deity, with Elyon, meaning high or exalted. In the Hebrew Bible, El Elyon is used as a title for the God of Israel, emphasizing supreme sovereignty. It appears in passages such as Genesis 14, where Melchizedek blesses Abram in the name of El Elyon, and in other texts where the Most High is described as the righteous ruler over all nations. Scholarly discussions note that El Elyon may reflect ancient near‑Eastern religious ideas and is sometimes contrasted with other divine names in biblical literature. In translations, El Elyon is typically rendered as “God Most High” or “the Most High God.”

ELYON is also the name of a fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role‑playing game (MMORPG). Developed by Eyedentity Games, it was released after an initial working title of Project ELYON and has seen regional publication by various publishers. The game is known for its action-oriented combat, large-scale PvP, and a high-fantasy world setting that emphasizes factional conflict and exploration within open-world environments.

In addition to these uses, Elyon can appear as a personal or place name in some cultures. The term’s prominence largely depends on whether it is used in a religious, entertainment, or personal naming context.
