Greater Elf is my name for elves that are tall and resemble humans except with pointed ears. Because, when you say elf, most people imagine Santa's elves. Anyway, here are some names for male Greater Elves.
  1. Abboid

    • Description:

      Abboid is an extremely rare masculine name with uncertain origins. It may be a variant of Abbott, which derives from the Aramaic 'abba' meaning 'father' and historically referred to the head of a monastery. The unusual suffix '-oid' could suggest 'resembling' or 'having the form of' (as used in scientific terminology), though this is uncommon in naming patterns. Alternatively, it might have roots in obscure family surnames or represent a creative modern invention. Due to its extreme rarity, Abboid has no significant usage statistics or cultural associations in most naming databases. The name would likely present the bearer with a distinctive identity, though potentially also with the need to frequently explain or spell it for others.
  2. Adeon

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Description:

      This name of a legendary Welsh prince could serve as a more original alternative to Adam or Aidan, though it does sound a tad chemical.
  3. Aeron

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "berry"

    • Description:

      Aeron was possibly a minor Celtic god of war, and is definitely a river in modern-day Wales.
  4. Aland

    • Description:

      Aland is a masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from Old Norse elements meaning "foreigner's land" or could be connected to the Åland Islands between Finland and Sweden. The name might also relate to Alan, which has Celtic roots meaning "harmony" or "stone." As a given name, Aland is quite rare in most English-speaking countries, never appearing on popular name charts. The name has a strong, distinctive sound with its open vowels and clear consonants. Aland carries a certain Nordic or Scandinavian character that might appeal to parents seeking a connection to Northern European heritage. The simplicity of the name, combined with its uncommon nature, gives it a distinctive quality that stands out without being difficult to pronounce or spell.

  5. Allyn

    • Description:

      Allyn is a gender-neutral name with versatile usage as a masculine name, though it also appears as a feminine option. With Welsh and Celtic origins, it relates to names like Alan and Allen, derived from elements meaning "handsome" or "cheerful." As a surname-turned-first-name, it carries an elegant, sophisticated quality. The distinctive 'y' spelling gives Allyn a more contemporary feel compared to traditional variants. Despite never reaching high popularity rankings, Allyn has maintained consistent, modest usage throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The name appeals to parents seeking a classic-sounding option with a modern twist. Its gender flexibility makes it appealing in contemporary naming trends that favor unisex options. Allyn projects strength and refinement while maintaining an approachable quality.

  6. Alun

    • Origin:

      Welsh spelling of Alan; river in Wales

    • Description:

      This name of a river in Wales represents a vowel change from Alan, which makes the name somewhat more intriguing, but still possibly not intriguing enough. Bonus points if you're a surfer, sailor, or you're expecting a baby born under a water sign of the zodiac: It's one of the more unusual names that mean water.
