Why this day? Elijas is a form of Elias, and shares its name day.
Elijas is celebrated in Germany on July 20.
Elijas is a sonorous variant of the biblical name Elias, which goes back to the Hebrew name Eliyahu and means "Yahweh is my God." This form radiates a certain timeless elegance and is associated with the veneration of the prophet Elias. In recent years, the name has established itself as a fresh alternative to the widespread Elias. It carries a spiritual note without seeming old-fashioned, and suits modern, open personalities well.
Elijas often appears calm and thoughtful to his surroundings, but harbors a wild spark of creativity within. He is the type who prefers listening to talking, but when he does speak, it carries weight—often seasoned with dry, intelligent humor. His sense of aesthetics is pronounced, and he prefers quality over quantity, whether in friends or in his clothing. With a wink, he takes life seriously, but not himself too much.
