Elegast
Elegast means King of the Elves in Dutch, and was the name of a friend of Charlemagne in an Medieval Dutch epic poem, Karel ende Elegast. Although the poem does not describe Elegast's background, he was an old friend of Charlemagne that had fallen into disgrace, and his banishment to the forest and his name connotes he was elven.
