If it is, I think of a cow. The dog's Ebarken, and the hen's Eclucken, and the cow's Elowen.womp womp...2 of 3 pronunciation comments on the name say it's on the second syllable.
I noticed that a while ago, but I still naturally would read it with emphasis on the first.

The one I've met was ELL-o-wen. That's how I'd automatically read it but idk.

Don't know. I prefer the sound of EL-o-wen, possibly because it reminds me of Elinor!
