About the Name Elias

The name Elias's root letters are ELS.

The appealing ELS names herald personalities that strongly resonate with sensuality, emotionality and nurturing. The energetic letter E contributes its emotive, exuberant and extroverted aspects, while the loving, life-affirming letter L fortifies these names with its learned and loyal tones. Terminated by the sexy and sensual letter S, these names suggest creative and energetic people who are anything but inhibited. Eminently attractive to the opposite sex for their wit and enthusiasm, ELS people enjoy their lives and seem to want the same for everyone else.

The surest way to get acquainted with Eliases is to enter their living space. Their modest homes are likely to be inviting and comfortable and, if they’re a little on the ethereal side, it’s the perfect place for them to practice their unique concoction of ritual meditation. You’ll feel welcomed by the scent of candles and patchouli, and also by the ELS’ bonhomie and hospitality. But there’s also a sense that all is not as balanced in their lives as they’d like you to believe. As a consequence of the high expectations they’ve placed on themselves ever since childhood, many feel that they’ve never really ‘made it’.

Because of their distaste for the world of hierarchy and competition, Eliases usually gravitate toward careers which give them a certain degree of self-expression, or at least, situations that promise them creative or athletic outlets. These aren’t the one-person-one-career types and, true to their whimsical spirits, will readily flit between jobs. This kind of instability may well cost Eliases the kind of careers that could bring in the big money, but they’re hardly the types to spend their lives chasing a dollar. Self-actualization seems far more valuable.

Eliases will be invaluable as confidants and helpmates in their close relationships, but it’s not going to be easy to penetrate their inner circles. Whether their guardedness comes from their distrust of people’s motives, or simply the high standards they’ve set for themselves, prospective friends and suitors will be warily evaluated before being allowed into their lives. Eliases are keen observers of human nature who unconsciously record all the little details of their conversations for later use, and woe-betide partners whose stories don’t quite jibe with their recollections.

When it comes to intimate arrangements, integrity and honesty are high on their shopping lists and Eliases aren’t likely to grant a second chance to anyone who transgresses their rules. If there is going to be a breakup, chances are that they will be the ones to initiate it, and handle with sensitivity and good judgment.
