Ancient root and name story

Origin: Hebrew. Meaning: my God is Yahweh.

Biblical story: Elijah is a prophet in the books of Kings, remembered for confronting Ahab and the prophets of Baal, the contest on Mount Carmel, the still small voice at Horeb and his ascent in a fiery chariot.

Why the name matters: Elijah has intense prophetic energy: fire, courage, wilderness, prayer and uncompromising faith.

Image rationale: the visual should suggest Carmel, wilderness, prophetic mantle, fire or chariot imagery.

Images are used as cultural or historical references for name sources, not proof of real historical appearance.
