elkin
I love the name 'Elkin'. I came across it while reading a Belgian cartoon. It is a boys' name. I figure its meaning is 'belonging to God' or 'kin to God', but cannot find anything about the name anywhere. Anybody know more?

My name is Elkin, and I'm still undecided as to wether I enjoy it, as it is very unusual. It is popular in the region of Colombia whee my parents are from, and I've seent the same meaning as Satu described

Hello Nicole,Elkin is a form of the Hebrew name Elkan (I found some other forms: Elkana, Elkanah, Elkins). The meaning according "35,000 baby names" by Bruce Lansky is "God is jealous" - but I'm not sure if that's right because in this book are MANY mistakes concerning right meanings or origins... :-(
Hope this helps...?Satu
