Anglicized form of Elon (Hebrew, "oak tree") & Ilan (Hebrew "tree"). Also, the given name of a daughter of Dรดn, a type of mother goddess the Welsh equivalent of the Irish Danu, in Welsh mythology. It is likely that her name was derived from Proto-Celtic elan(t), meaning "doe, hind" (which would make Elan a cognate of Elain "fawn"). Could also be the archaic Irish form of Helen or Ellen.
F | English, German, Biblical, Old Church Slavic, Biblical Latin, Biblical Greek
