Eljas

Variant of Kaylyn.

Contracted form of Yehoshu’a (see Joshua) used in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible. The form was also used in Aramaic, and was most likely the name represented by Greek Iesous (see Jesus) in the New Testament. This means it was probably the real name of Jesus.

In part from the English word jewel, a precious stone, derived from Old French jouel, which was possibly related to jeu “game”. It is also in part from the surname Jewel or Jewell (a derivative of the Breton name Judicaël), which was sometimes used in honour of the 16th-century bishop of Salisbury John Jewel. It has been in use as a given name since the 19th century.

People with the name Violette have a deep inner need for quiet, and a desire to understand and analyze the world they live in, and to learn the deeper truths.
