Named my daughter this in 1990. She has grown to merit its beauty and dignity. Looked up the meaning in several old books at the time. Got these meanings: "fair of brow"-- or "white of brow". Also her father found "bright eyed elf" although I can't vouch for that one.

After having the name of "Elowyne" for over 50 years, I have come across many meanings. "Camp El-O-win" in the Sierra's, it was told that it was an Indian name meaning "Happy House".
Also a Welsh name for boys, Elowyne (also, Elwyn-a form of Alwyn, meaning great white or blessed. Male version of Alwen).
Also, my Grandmother's name-- her mother found it in a book-- which I later found on Amazon. It's not trendy, or Elfin, although sounding like names in movies, books, etc.
It's pronounced, at least for me, as L-O-WIN, (the sound of the letters & "win", like you "win" a game).
If you choose to bestow your daughter with this name, she would be very fortunate. It's a good name to have. ;)

Elowen is a modern Cornish name meaning 'elm'. My daughter is called Elowen and we often shorten it to Ellie.

There's an error in the description. 'Elew' just means elm, not elm tree. Elowen comes from the Cornish word 'elowenn' meaning elm tree. [noted -ed]
