If you want baby to have an air of mystery surrounding them, an enigmatic moniker like Alias may just do the trick. Meaning “assumed name” or “pseudonym,” Alias comes from the Latin term of the same spelling. However, it is usually given to boys as a variation of Elias, which derives from Elijah. Tracing back to the Hebrew terms el and yah—both referring to the Hebrew God—Elijah signifies “my God is Yahweh.” Baby Alias could grow into a cryptic character, leading a quiet life without broadcasting their story to everyone. Those outside their circle might be stumped about who they are, but their nearest and dearest will know their true, loving personality. Give baby an unassuming start with a name like Alias.
