Strong's Lexicon
Eloni: Eloni

Original Word: אֵלוֹנִי
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: Elowniy
Pronunciation: eh-lo-NEE
Phonetic Spelling: (ay-lo-nee')
Definition: Eloni
Meaning: an Elonite

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵלוֹן (Elon), meaning "oak" or "terebinth."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eloni in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew lineage and geography.

Usage: The name "Eloni" is used to refer to a descendant or inhabitant of a place associated with Elon, which means "oak" or "terebinth." In the context of the Bible, it is often used to denote a person from a specific lineage or region.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes associated with natural elements like trees, which were symbols of strength and endurance. The oak or terebinth tree was a common symbol in the ancient Near East, representing stability and longevity. The name Eloni, therefore, may imply a connection to these qualities or to a geographical location known for such trees.
