Ellonzo was know by many names.  Ellonzo by birth, Lonnie by the women in the family, Stew by the men in the family and Zoe by his loving mother.

Ellonzo stints from Elliott which is his father’s name that means a sincere, kind and well-mannered person.  The name Lonnie means Noble, Stew short for Stewey which means “Excellent”, and Zoe who associated its meaning of “Life with Eternal Life in Biblical times.
