The name means "tree" or "oak tree" in the Hebrew language. Elon is a rare male first name as it was not ranked for males of all ages in the United States Census, 1990. It is also used in many countries in a feminine sense, as the girl's name "Ilana".ReplyDeleteRepliesReplyGary AndersonMarch 17, 2015 at 7:48 PMHe is not Jewish but is a descendent of Jews, according to the Jewish Virtual Library.
