Elon

Elon — אילון — is Hebrew for oak tree, from the same root as Ilan, and appears several times in the Hebrew Bible as both a personal and a place name, including the judge Elon of the tribe of Zebulun. In modern Israel it is a perennial boys' name, associated with the strength and rootedness of the namesake tree. Global recognition came unexpectedly in the twenty-first century through the tech magnate, a shift that has reshaped the name's public resonance. Two syllables, a soft opening vowel and a clean final n. Whatever its modern associations, Elon carries its biblical weight lightly, a name with deep roots and a stout trunk.
