e.lam is a proper name used for a genealogical figure and for a land or people with kings, forces, and exiles.

The term most often names a people or polity, appearing with its kings, military action, judgment, scattering, and restoration; it also identifies a place, including a province, and a figure in Shem's lineage. The supplied tags ordinarily mark it as a proper noun, while Jeremiah 49:36 supplies a common masculine singular absolute tag for forms in a statement about its exiles.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the name as "Elam." It places the name in genealogies, calls it a province in Daniel 8:2, and uses it for the collective target of commands, military imagery, judgment, scattering, and restoration.
