Elagabalus

Gender: Masculine
Usage: Semitic Mythology (Latinized)

Meaning

Latinized form of an Arabic name, derived from إله (ilah) meaning “god” and جبل (jabal) meaning “mountain”. This was the name of a sun god worshipped in Emesa, in the Roman province of Syria. A 3rd-century Roman emperor, who served as a priest of this god in his youth in Syria, is known to history by the name Elagabalus. After ruling for four years he was assassinated at the age of 18, in part because he promoted the god to the head of the Roman pantheon.
