Elladio

Elladio or Eladio is an Italian given name, also known in its feminine variants of Elladia or Eladia. It also appears in Latin as Helladius,[1][2] in Polish as Heladiusz or Eladiusz and in Spanish as Eladio[2] These all derive the name from the medieval Greek "‘Ελλαδιος" (Helladios[2]), an ethonym meaning 'from Hellas' (i.e. from Greece).[3][4] This is a similar origin to the name "Greca".
