Strong's Lexicon Eliam: Eliam Original Word: אֱלִיעָם Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and עַם (am, meaning "people" or "kinsman"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eliam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name.

It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of one's heritage or divine relationship. Eliam, as a name, suggests a connection to God, emphasizing a familial or covenantal relationship with the divine. This reflects the broader cultural understanding of Israel as a people chosen and sustained by God.
