Elias?

Could be a fun thread, answer and then add your own name for others to associate!

I like it.

I think the guy who talked to wolves in the Wheel of Time though! It's spelt Elyas there but same name...

Also ell - eye - us pronunciation.

I think of charismatic American character actors Elias Koteas and Eli Wallach.

In other words, an awesome name and definitely one for my list.

Man with long beard and sandals.

Really sorry to be mean but think it sounds quite girlie. Not to my taste at all but fair play to you if you like it.

I wouldn't consider it girly. It's a name a James Earl Jones character could have imo -- the wise outsider, definitely solidly masculine, but insightful too.
