Eliot

The name Eliot is a variant of the Hebrew name Eliyahu, which means 'my God is Yahweh' or 'Yahweh is God'.

Eliyahu is the Hebrew form of the biblical name Elijah, which was borne by a prophet in the Old Testament who performed miracles and was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.

The name Eliot gained popularity in the English-speaking world through the renowned poet T.S. Eliot, who was born Thomas Stearns Eliot.

While primarily used as a masculine name, Eliot has also been adopted as a feminine name in some cases, though less commonly.
