Eloah

📖 About Eloah

Eloah is a Hebrew name derived from the word "Eloah" (אלוה), a singular form of "Elohim," meaning God or deity. While Elohim is the more commonly encountered plural form in the Hebrew Bible, Eloah appears primarily in poetic and wisdom literature, most notably in the Book of Job, where it occurs over 40 times. The name carries profound spiritual weight, evoking a direct, intimate relationship with the divine. As a given name, Eloah has gained remarkable popularity in Brazil, particularly since the 2010s, as part of a broader trend of Hebrew-origin names embraced by Brazilian evangelical communities. The variant spelling Eloá is also widely used. The name's appeal lies in its simplicity, its melodic sound, and its deep theological resonance — embodying both reverence and tenderness in its meaning.
