Elowyn

The -en ending is the authentically female one and the traditional Cornish spelling, but more and more Americans are turning to the y as a feminizing element in the final syllable of this name. As such, the name begins to feel more in tune with the likes of Brooklyn or Evelyn while still maintaining its more magical qualities.

Elowyn entered the Top 1000 for the first time in 2022, and was a fast rising choice in 2024 when it climbed nearly 250 places up the charts, placing it in the Top 500. Elowen is the preferred spelling in the UK, and also seeing more use among American parents, but whichever spelling you prefer, this is a sweet and whimsical name with a fairy-like aura.

Pronounced EL-oh-win.
