The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Elias belongs to earth, since it is made with an open throat and a soft breath. Names that sound like Elias are filed under earth. When a birth chart runs low on earth, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Elias supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element.
