A female
name. It is mainly derived from Helius as "god of sun". The other origin of this
name relates to a persian story book written by
Nader Ebrahimi "Bar-e Digar Shahri ke Doost Midashtam ". Nader Ebrahimi, an Iranian writer, screenwriter, photographer, and director, generated the
name of the book's heroine by mixing the letter of the word "ELahi الهی" in farsi language. Elahi means "my god, related to god". He mixed four letters of الهی and made هلیا. Then Helia was the heroine of that story book.
