The etymology of the word ‘elf’ can be traced back to the word: white, with PIE root alb. Elf was a popular component in Anglo-Saxon names, but the only ‘Elfin’ name still in use today is Alfred. Albion is the oldest known name for England, possibly named because of the White Cliffs of Dover, so Elf might refer to an indigenous English person, but many other theories exist.
