For the steadfast baby who sticks to their values, Ilie offers a playful title with a deep and meaningful sentiment. Ilie is a Romanian name for boys derived from Ilija, a form of Hebrew Elijah, and means “the Lord is my God.” The prophet Elijah is venerated in Romania, often with the epithet Ilija Gromovnik (Elijah the Thunderer), and folklore tells that thunder comes from the roar of his flying chariot. A symbol of strength from the heavens, baby Ilie will always be reminded that even the scariest of thunderstorms are part of the divine balance of nature.
