Elkanah 
The name Elkanah occurs ten times in the Bible. Most famous is Elkanah the father of Samuel (1 Sam 1:1). Other Elkanahs are a son of Korah (Ex 6:24), a son of Kohath (1 Chr 6:23) and his own son (1 Chr 6:27), a mighty man of David (1 Chr 12:6), two Kohathite musicians (1 Chr 6:34 & 36), a Levite who returned from the Babylonian exile (1 Chr 9:16), an unfortunate officer under king Ahaz (2 Chr 28:7), and a gatekeeper of the ark (1 Chr 15:23).
The name Elkana consists of two parts. The first part is (El 93), the common abbreviation of Elohim, the genus God. The second part comes from the verb (qana 2039) meaning get, acquire, create (see Cain). Derivatives of qana are wealth, cattle, purchase.
