- Because Japanese syllables usually end in vowels, the final 's' in Elias is turned into a full syllable ス ('su'), adding an extra beat to the name's rhythm.
- If you were to write this name using Kanji (Chinese characters) to give it a specific meaning, you would have to choose characters based on their sounds, a process called 'ateji'.
