Draft: not yet reviewed by a scholar. This is not a fatwa.

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.
