What's my name?

[Elok]

I don't know if this is interesting to anyone, or just wierd. My internet pseudonym doesn't mean anything in particular; I just made it up at the age of thirteen by turning my last name backwards and changing a letter. Just out of curiosity, I searched my name on google to see if there were any others out there who went by it. To my surprise, my name is:

-"beautiful, good, perfect" in Indonesian, and the name of a former Indonesian queen
-a river in Uzbekistan
-some sort of train that runs through eastern europe
-the villain of an eighties B-movie titled "Playroom"
-a character in a musical called Starlight Express that was apparently based on/related to Cats(the page wasn't clear)
-the name of yet another fictional character, in a trashy piece of Dungeons and Dragons fanfiction no less.
-a word in several germanic languages whose meaning I couldn't even begin to guess.

Naturally, this makes me kinda jumpy, and since Poly is an international community, I just thought I'd throw out a question:
What does "Elok" mean in Danish/German/Finnish/half a dozen other languages? Do those suomithreadi people happen to speak a language that uses the word? Are there any other meanings I'm not aware of, e.g. is my name Mongolian slang for some kind of graphic sex act?

Inquiring minds must know, dagnabit! Bump!

Nothing If you replace "k" with "s" though it means "Swamp" in old Greek

[Bereta_Eder]

If you invert it, it means "Arse" in modern Greek. Hey, you ask!

Well, In finnish "elok" doesnt mean anything. "Elo" means life though and adding two uu's like "elokuu" means august. Adding one more and changing one letter you'll get "elokuva" or living pictures->film,movies.

Elok is a word in archaic finnish and has probably meant life or something similar

Hope this helps.

it's short for electric locomotive in German Norwegian and probably some other languages as well

Aren't you an asskicking Teddy Bear who's helping to bring down the Empire?

Oh, wait... that's Ewoks. Sorry, man.

Lok in swedish is the common word for Locomotive, so eLok would means it's a trendy new eLocomotive. Ellok, ond the other hand, would be an electric locomotive like Gangerolf said.

In English Elok means "geeky internet boy who spams forums".

[Adagio]

Elok? Doesn't mean anything in danish... as in Swedish, lok could be short for Lokomotiv (Locomotive), but otherwise it doesn't mean anything...

It's not St, it's not Swithin, it's not Winnie or S. or Lee, nor is it Winnie S Lee.

Any guesses?
