What is "elias"

Elias is the Latin transliteration of the Greek name , which in turn is the Hellenized form of the , meaning " Yahweh is my God". Another form of Eliyahu in English is Elijah .

The name belonged most notably to Elijah, the Hebrew prophet. The Quran refers to this prophet in Arabic as Ilias (إلياس), the prophet who was born in Baalbek, east of Lebanon. The King James Version of the Bible also uses "Elias" in the New Testament as the English translation of the Greek name for this prophet.

Elias is a given name and surname, the Greek and Latin form of Elijah.

Elias may also refer to:

' Elias of het gevecht met de nachtegalen ' (Elias, or the fight with the nightingales) is a 1991 Dutch film directed by Klaas Rusticus.

Elias (; ; fl. 6th century) was a Greek scholar and a commentator on Aristotle and Porphyry.

He was a pupil of Olympiodorus in Alexandria in the late-6th century. His name suggests that he was a Christian. A commentary on Porphyry's Isagoge written in Greek has survived. Some fragments survive of a commentary he wrote on the Prior Analytics of Aristotle, and he is known to have written on the De Interpretatione of Aristotle. It is also possible that the extant Commentary on Aristotle's Categories which is attributed to David was actually written by Elias.

In addition, a second extant commentary on Porphyry's Isagoge was falsely ascribed to Elias. The commentary was also falsely ascribed to David, and it has been conjectured that it may have been written by Stephen of Alexandria.

Historian's from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy pointed out

Moreover, Elias repeatedly emphasizes the Platonic-Neoplatonic conviction that the purpose of philosophy is the transformation or assimilation of a human being to the godhead, a genuinely Platonic ideal explicitly stated in the Theaetetus, (176A-B).

Elias is a Swedish rock band formed in 2004-2005 and consisting of Fredrik Andersson, Pascal Bjerrehus, Jens Magnusson and Christoffer Olsson. They were signed to various record labels, including Pama Records, Rivendale Records and Universal Music.

Shine, their debut album, released in June 2006 and produced by Peps Persson, followed their initial 2005 hit single "Sayonara". However it was " Who's da Man", featuring 11-year-old singer Frans Jeppsson-Wall, that catapulted the band to great fame when the song became the biggest summer hit of 2006 in Sweden. They also produced the record. They repeated the accomplishment with " Fotbollsfest", another collaboration with Frans, that again reached #1 in Sweden.

Elias (stage name) is born on 15 October 1980 in Bayonne. He is a French singer-songwriter.
