Meaning & Story
A plural or possessive form suggesting abundance and belonging, perhaps naming a pet who embodies everything at once.
Elans is an unusual form that adds a plural or possessive dimension to names like Elan — the Hebrew word for "tree" or the French word for spirited energy and enthusiasm. As a pet name, it has an abstract, slightly philosophical quality that suits an owner who thinks about names in unconventional ways. Pets named Elans often have a multifaceted personality that seems to contain more than one creature's worth of character. The name is a quiet conversation-starter that reveals something thoughtful about the person who chose it. Distinctive without being showy.
