References
- ^ In Semitic languages, the "al" and "el" sounds are often merged, (as in "ael") thus the Aramaic "Eli" is directly related to the Arabic Allah and identical to Hebrew "El". It is related also to similar Semitic words in Assyrian (ilu), Phoenician, Aramaic, Arabic and Ethiopic.
- ^ In Hebrew and many Yiddish Languages, Eli means "the highest" or "to the Highest".
- ^ However, there is a distinction between Eli spelled with an aleph א, which is a diminutive form of Eliahu (Elijah), Eliezer, etc. and Eli spelled with an 'ayin ע, which is the name of the high priest in the Books of Samuel (see List of Hebrew names). Elya, which is Yiddish for Elijah, is spelled with an ayin in the beginning and end of the name. In English it is pronounced /ˈiːlaɪ/, for example by Eli Whitney and Eli Yale.
