Elliot
Derived from its Hebrew name ‘Elijah’, this is a popular Greek name. The meaning of Elliot can be translated to ‘the Lord is my God’. The name Elijah comes in the Bible, where Elijah was a miracle worker and a noble prophet who was chosen by the God. It was Elijah who had convinced the people of Israel to worship Yahweh (Jehovah in Hebrew) , and would share the messages and warnings of God to the people. The name ‘Elijah’ literally translates to ‘Yahweh/ Jehovah is the God’. Thus, his name and its meaning go together like bread and butter. The French translation of the name indicates ‘the one who believes in the Almighty’. The name Elliot became famous in the '80s courtesy the popular science fiction movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, where the main character, Elliot, saves an alien left behind, and makes it a point to keep it hidden from the rest of the world.
