Does anyone know of other variations for the first name Elias (male) It is sometimes recorded as Elly. I'm wanting to make sure I've covered all variations. It seems to be one of the rarer first names and it doesn't appear to have been passed on to the children in the family.
Thanks

According to RootsIreland Elias and Elliot were variants for Elijah in Ireland.
Hope this helps!
