Now I really do love this rather short name. As I have
mentioned on another post it does have some similar look and meanings to
Eilonwy, Eilon, and Elowen / Elowyn *see on list of
posts*. So if you don’t like Elon then you can try Eilonwy, Eilon, or
Elowen / Elowyn, but bear in mind that Eilonwy is fictional and made up by
another author. Anyway Elon is a nice name with really strong meanings. This
name also has a long biblical history so this could be used in any era the
author wishes.
