I've never heard it as a male name; I don't know Spanish. But there's a British woman called Elian McCready who is a very well known artist and textile designer. She grew up in Wales - not sure if her parents are Welsh or where the name comes from.

I had never heard of this name before the whole Elian Gonzales story came along. It doesn't really sound very masculine at all to me. Also, am I the only one who noticed that the name is VERY similar in sound and spelling to "alien?" As in space alien, or even as illegal alien? Rather an unfortunately apt name for young Mister Gonzales. :)

My name is Elian, I am a woman of 40 years from Holland. My Grand Mother's name was Elisabeth and my other Grand Mother was Johanna. My name is a combination of the two names, Eli-An. This satisfied both families for the new born Princess. Pain in the Ass that she is today!

I have a son called Elian. I did some searching and found that the name originates from the name Elah which is Hebrew. Its meaning is "the oak tree".

This gave rise to the Cornish surname Trevelyan, Elian's farm. Elian is a unisex Welsh name. St. Elian or Eilian has a sacred well consecrated to him (ffynnon eilian) where it could be from eilio meaning a moment in time, it could also be related to the Celtic root word meaning sun, it is also a Cornish and a Breton name.

This name is also a female name. As a bearer of the name and knowing other people in my town who are also named the same I can asure you so. In my case it was derived from my mother's name Elia and on the other person's from relative's name Noelia.

I hate this name. I can't believe people are using this because of that stupid kid.

A derivative of the Julian, this name was born by several early Christian saints, most notably St. Elian of Homs (also venerated in the West as St. Julian of Homs), a physician who refused to accept payment for his services.

Despite Elian Gonzalez, I like this name. And it's made up in the sense that it's traditional for people in Latin American countries to combine their parents first names. I've heard ridiculous ones like 'Josmar' before too. It does sound a bit like alien though.
