Elitzafan is an ancient and rare Hebrew name composed of two elements: 'Eli' meaning 'my God' or 'God of mine', and 'tzafan' meaning 'hidden' or 'guarded'. The full meaning of the name is 'God has hidden' or 'God has guarded me'. This name reflects a deep faith in divine providence and the hidden protection that the Creator provides for His children. The root 'tzafan' appears in the Bible with various meanings of concealment, preservation, and watching, testifying to a unique theological concept whereby God protects His people even when His presence is not visibly apparent.

The Book of Numbers recounts how Elitzafan and his brother Mishael were called by Moses to remove the bodies of Nadav and Avihu, Aaron's sons, from the sanctuary after they died while offering strange fire. This delicate and honorable task testifies to Elitzafan's high standing and the trust Moses placed in him. The name Elitzafan carries with it the memory of familial responsibility, loyalty to people and tradition, and the ability to bear difficult roles with dignity and faith.
