Elowyn is a modern variant of Elowen. Through Elowen, it is linked with the Cornish word for elm tree, giving it a nature-based meaning with a soft, storybook feel.
Elowen itself is a recently coined Cornish name, and Elowyn follows as a variant spelling. That makes it modern in form, even though its imagery comes from an older Celtic language.
