Name of a deity worshipped besides God: disliked
Wikipedia calls Elio primarily a revival of Helios, the Greek sun god, so it falls under names of deities worshipped besides Allah. The Roman name Aelius is a second origin, and some sources reject the link to Helios. A scholar's call: no ruling on this exact name was read.
