Elim

Biblical place name

"place of strong trees"

Elim Origin and Meaning

The name Elim is a boy's name meaning "place of strong trees".

In the Bible, Elim is an oasis where the Israelites stopped during their Exodus from Egypt. It is a place of plenty representing the natural blessings of God, with twelve springs of fresh water and seventy date palm trees to provide food and shade.

As a name, Elim didn't appear on the US list until 1997 (for girls) and 2000 (for boys). It's now given to a dozen or so babies per year of each sex, making it a great underused, gender neutral choice which fits in well with current baby name trends.
