Elfin (steamboat)
The steamboat ''Elfin'' operated on Lake Washington and Puget Sound from 1891 to 1900.

Elfin Of Alt Clut
Elfin was a ruler of Alt Clut, a Brittonic kingdom based on Dumbarton Rock, sometime in the later 7th century. According to the Harleian genealogies, he was the son of Eugein I, one of his predecessors as king, and the father of Beli II, who ruled some time later. Very little is certainly known of him, though he may be identifiable with other figures attested in the Irish annals, and circumstantial evidence may link him to a number of important events during this time. Identifications Elfin may be identified with the ''Alphin m. Nectin'' listed in the ''Annals of Ulster'' as dying in 693 along with ''Bruide m. Bili'' (''i.e.'', Bridei III of the Picts). It is possible that this Nectin is Neithon of Alt Clut, an earlier King of Alt Clut, and that the Harleian genealogies have Elfin's pedigree wrong.MacQuarrie, p. 10. However, this identification would cause serious incongruities in the dating of the other kings of Alt Clut, as Neithon was the grandfather of Eugein I and is thou ...
