Elifaz Origin and Meaning

The name Elifaz is a boy's name meaning "my God is fine gold".

This unusual Biblical name includes the popular Eli- and the on trend letter Z, which could make it an unexpected alternative to Elijah, Elias, Azariah, or Azriel.

Derived from the Hebrew elements el meaning "God" and paz meaning "pure, fine gold", Elifaz appears in the Bible as one of the sons of Esau and Adah, and as a friend and comforter of Job.

Elifaz is both the standard Hebrew transliteration and the Spanish and Portuguese form, while the French form is Éliphas and the English is Eliphaz.
