Comments: Actually Dylan is correct...Elias is a Christian name and not jewish. I guess the other folks must get their information from the jewish run wikepedia, whom think everyone is jewish. The name became popular among Christians in the Middle Ages as a result of its adoption by various early saints and martyrs including a 7th Century Bishop.

Name: Dave

Comments: Elias is a biblical Catholic/Christian name. I see there are ignorant people who confuse Elias with say, elijah or some other name that sounds similar. The khazar jews love to get credit for even things that make no sense and know to be false. that is why the jew mutants are the most hated beings on planet earth.

Name: Victor

Comments: I suspect Elias both as a surname & given name could be both Jewish & Christian. I have 100s of both in my files which are Jewish. So for sure it is a Jewish name of Sephardic families from Spain. To say they are only Jewish would be wrong, just as saying they are only Christians. I am offended by the Jewish hatred be voiced in some of these messages.
