Ηλία is a common Greek name, derived from the ancient Greek name Ηλίας (Elias), which means "the Lord is my God." It is often associated with the biblical prophet Ηλίας from the Old Testament, known for his strong faith and miraculous deeds. The name is popular in Greece and among Greek communities worldwide. In Greek culture, Ηλία is celebrated on Ημέρα του Αγίου Ηλία, which falls on July 20th. This day honors Saint Ηλίας, who is considered the patron saint of farmers and is often invoked for good weather and bountiful harvests. The name is also used in various forms across different cultures, such as Elijah in English.
