ArchivesName - Elia
I heard this name on a little girl today, pronounced El-ee-ya, at the park today. I saw a backpack she had with the spelling Elia.
I absolutely LOVE it and think it's so pretty - but then I looked it up on Behind The Name and not only is that pronunciation off, it's also a boy's name. Wah wah.

When I mentioned that my name bible didn't have it listed as a girl's name, DH looked around and found it as a girl's name on a few sites (i.e. http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Elia).
I want a name with an actual background and actual meaning - so can anyone verify whether Elia is a legit girl's name with a legit meaning (in addition to being a male Dutch name as BTN lists)?
