Elon (name)

Elon (אֵילוֹן in Hebrew), is a masculine first name, or Jewish surname, which means "oak tree" in the Hebrew language. Variants of the name include Alon, Eilan, Eilon, and Elan; it can also be a variant spelling of Ilan and Ilon, of the similar meaning "tree".
The given name became more popular in the 2010s (from #3,310 in 2008 to #885 in 2018 for baby boys in the United States) possibly due to the rise to fame of entrepreneur Elon Musk, but he is not Jewish.
