History and meaning of Elijah
Elijah is of Hebrew origin meaning “God is my Savior; the Lord is my God; and loyal servant of God.” In the Bible, Elijah was a Hebrew prophet and miracle worker, as told in the two Books of Kings in the Old Testament. Because Elijah was a popular figure in medieval tales, and because his name was borne by a few early saints (who are usually known by the Latin form Elias), the name came into general use during the Middle Ages. In medieval England, it was usually spelled Elis. It declined in popularity by the 16th century, but was revived by the Puritans in the form Elijah after the Protestant Reformation.

What’s in a name?
Here is a short excerpt:
“We believe all children are gifts to our world, and their beautiful, deeply thought-out names deserve to be memorialized in poetry, meant to not only capture the wonderful feelings the gift giver has for the recipient, but also the wonderful characteristics and attributes of the recipient.“
