Elioenai Origin and Meaning

The name Elioenai is a boy's name meaning "my eyes look to Yahweh".

The name of several minor characters in the Old Testament, including a leader of the Tribe of Simeon and a priest involved in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, Elioenai is a rare Biblical choice.

Elionenai has the spiritual meaning of "my eyes look to Yahweh" or "my eyes look towards God" and despite its rarity, it has familiar sounds. Used for just five boys in a recent year, it could make an interesting alternative to Malachi or Elias — and a way to nicknames Nai, Leo, and Elio.
