Elkon is Hebrew in Origin.
Elkon likely traces to Hebrew theophoric names built on El, “God.” It is commonly interpreted as a streamlined form of Elhanan or Elchonon (Hebrew/Aramaic), yielding the meaning “God has been gracious,” or as a clipped variant of Elkan/Elkanah, whose root qanah conveys “God has created/acquired.” The -on ending fits Hebrew naming patterns and also reflects Yiddish-influenced spellings that traveled into English through the Ashkenazic diaspora.
As a given name, Elkon is rare and modern, sometimes adopted from the Jewish surname Elkon/Elkohn in English‑speaking and South African communities during the 20th–21st centuries. Related variants include Elkan, Elkin, Elkanah, Elhanan, Elchonon, and the Israeli form Elkana; short forms such as El or Eli also occur. The name carries a succinct, contemporary sound while preserving a traditional devotional sense tied to the “El‑” element and its associations with divine favor or creative acquisition.
