Meaning & origin
Elieser, a variant of Eliezer, has been a rare but consistent presence in U.S. birth data since its first recorded use in 1967. Its peak year was 2008, though even then it remained extremely uncommon. The name's trajectory has been stable, meaning its usage has not fluctuated wildly over time. Elieser is overwhelmingly given to boys and has no strong association with any particular state. Despite its rarity, the name carries deep biblical roots, appealing to families seeking a distinctive yet meaningful religious name.
Elieser is a variant spelling of Eliezer, a Hebrew name derived from elements 'El' (God) and 'ezer' (help). In the Hebrew Bible, Eliezer was Abraham's trusted servant. The name has been used by Jewish communities for centuries, and the Elieser spelling appears as a modern adaptation, particularly in Latin-influenced cultures.
