"Variant of Elchanan"
The name Elchonon is commonly a male name from the "Hebrew" origin.
Elchonon is an Ashkenazi Jewish form of the Hebrew name Elchanan, which appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of one of King David's warriors (2 Samuel 23:24). The Hebrew elements are el, meaning God, and chanan, meaning to be gracious or to show favour. The spelling Elchonon reflects Ashkenazi pronunciation of the same name rather than a separate etymology.
Elchanan means "God is Gracious".
The pronunciation of Elchonon is el-KHOH-non.
