Ilanit

This name derives from the Hebrew “‘ı̂ylân,” meaning “tree, oak tree,” transliterated into Ancient Greek “déndron (δένδρον).” The name is of Jewish tradition and appears in the bible and the Old Testament. 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.” Moreover, the Jewish holiday of Tu Bishvat, the “new year of the trees,” is referred to in Hebrew as “Rosh HaShanah La’Ilanot,” where “Ilanot” is the feminine plural Hebrew word for tree.
