"Variant of Elihu"
The name Eliu is commonly a male name from the "Hebrew" origin.
Eliu is a form of the biblical name Elihu, which in the Hebrew Bible belongs to one of Job's companions and to an ancestor of Samuel. It is the spelling used in the Latin Vulgate and, following it, in the Douay-Rheims English translation, where the Hebrew name appears as Eliu. The name is a Latinised biblical form rather than a modern coinage.
Elihu means "Jehovah is God".
The pronunciation of Eliu is ee-LY-oo.
