How did the University get the name Elon? Is it named after the word אילן, or something else?

It is also used in many countries in a feminine sense, as the girl's name "Ilana".

I've come across Elon itself as a girl's name. Indeed, until I looked up Elon Musk just now, the only Elon I'd ever come across had been a girl - albeit pronounced /iˈlɒn/ rather than /ˈiːlɒn/. But this article describes Elon itself as only a male name. Can anybody provide insight? — Smjg ( talk) 19:32, 18 January 2015 (UTC) reply

… but this page creates the impression that he is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.144.90 ( talk) 05:38, 15 June 2019 (UTC) reply
