“A rare biblical declaration meaning my eyes look to God”
Origin & Etymology
Elionai is an ancient Hebrew name composed of three sacred elements: 'El' (God), 'ayin' (eye or eyes), and 'Yah' (a short form of YHWH, the divine name). Together they form a beautiful declaration: 'my eyes are toward the LORD'—a posture of trust and devotion embedded directly into a name. It appears in the Bible in 1 Chronicles among the descendants of David, marking it as a name of priestly and royal lineage.
