Based on the provided lexicon data, the word 'אֱלִיהוּ' (e.li.hu) is a proper name given to a person. It consists of two Hebrew roots: 'El' meaning God and 'Yahu' or 'Yah', a divine name. Therefore, 'Elihu' can be interpreted as "My God is he" or "God is he", likely emphasizing this person's connection to or worship of the supreme deity. Given its limited presence in the Bible, it seems the name 'Elihu' holds significance in a specific narrative. The singular occurrence of the name may indicate that the person 'Elihu' is not a prominent figure, but rather a significant yet lesser-known individual. The proper name 'Elihu' does not appear to be a common or symbolic designation, nor does it convey any specific occupation or social status.
