History & Origin
Eloa is the h-less form of Eloah β a Hebrew word for God, the singular of Elohim, found chiefly in the poetry of Job. Brazil embraced it within the last two decades as a soft, devotional girls' name, its flowing vowels fitting the -oa fashion of Noa and Moana.
Brazilian-American families carry it north; elsewhere it is nearly unknown. Rare in the U.S., a chart-topper in Brazil.
