Elias Icelandic
Elias HUNGARIAN
Elias Spanish
Elias Czech
Elias Portuguese
Elias Persian
Eliasz Polish
Elis Swedish
Eliyahu Hebrew
1. Elis, Eliasz, Elías(Spanish), Elía(Icelandic) and Eliyahu are not Elias.
2. This Wikipedia entry lists all VARIANTS of the same name.
3. Only the KJV English is that stupid, that make difference of Elijah and Elias - which are VARIANTS of the same name.
4. Persian?
Please show me the name Elias here:

Didn't You used the Qazvini dialect? I am sorry, I don't know others.
What passages above? I don't see one! Wikipedia, maybe? Nothing to do with JtB.gdemetz wrote: Anyhow, however one wants to call the name, the fact still remains that the uses in the above passages show clearly that it could apply to a person who didn't even have that name, such as John the Baptist, or ANOTHER.
If I had a friend who is very good in English, he could explain to me what You mean with this sentence... Or can Your invisible reference pages help ?
