My Middle name is a variant. It is Elkan. My parents always told me the meaning was "Belongs to God". When I did some of my own research I found out it meant "In His (God) Grip". All seems to float with the theme of In God's possession.

I love this name, it's very strong and sweet. It reminds of another great name, Elchannan.
