History & Origin

Eloah is a Hebrew word for God — the singular form related to the majestic plural Elohim — found chiefly in the poetry of Job. As a given name it found its unlikely home in Brazil, where evangelical naming creativity turned the sacred word into a soft girls' name within the last two decades.

Brazilian charts now place Eloah among their popular girls' names, and Brazilian-American families have carried it north; elsewhere it remains practically unknown. The sound — flowing into the fashionable -oah of Noah — does half the work.

Did you know? Eloah appears most often in the Book of Job — the Bible's great poem of questioning — where the singular word for God sounds again and again.
