History & Origin

Elowin respells Elowen, a name drawn straight from the Cornish word for the elm tree. Cornish revival names — Elowen, Morwenna, Kerensa — came into use as the language was reclaimed in the twentieth century, and Elowen crossed to the U.S. and Australia on the strength of its sound. The -win spelling is a newer American variant (said 'EL-uh-win').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, green, and gentle.

Did you know? Elowen is simply the Cornish word for an elm tree, taken up as a name during the modern Cornish language revival. Elowin is an American respelling of it, and carries the same green meaning.
