Eliel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eliel is a Hebrew word for God. It is translated to English as "My God is God."

The name is formed from two different Hebrew terms for God. Eli, meaning "my God" and El "God". Therefore the commonly understood meaning of the name is "my God God" or "my God is God".

A famous bearer of this name is Eliel Saarinen, an architect of the early 20th Century.
