I hate to be a downer here, but I don't think this refers to a person's name. I think that "Élan" -- especially with the accent -- refers to the philosophical concept of "Élan vital." The lyrics of the song do a good job of summing up the philosophy. Especially the last line: "Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral."
