Meaning and origin of Elaahi
Elaahi represents ilāhī, an adjective describing something as divine or as belonging to God. It grows from the same root as the Arabic word for God. In South Asia it most often appears inside longer names, for example Elahi Bakhsh, meaning 'God's gift', and it is also familiar as a family surname. Because the word points so directly to God, many scholars feel it works better as part of a compound than on its own.
