Elan or Élan may refer to:
Elán is a Slovak pop-rock band, founded in 1969 by Jožo Ráž, Juraj Farkaš, Vašo Patejdl and Ján Baláž. It became one of the most popular Czechoslovak bands during the 1980s. In 1993, the group represented Slovakia in the preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest but having finished in fourth place, failed to qualify for the finals in Ireland. Elán's status in the 2000s is that of Slovakia's most successful pop group of all time; it may be the only Slovak music act consistently capable of selling out stadiums for their live performances. The biggest such concert took place in Prague, Czech Republic, in September 2003, in front of an audience of 90 thousand fans. They performed at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec, Czech Republic as part of the championships' entertainment festivities.

Ako or AKO may refer to:
Ako (亜湖) is a Japanese actress. She won the award for best supporting actress at the 1st Yokohama Film Festival for Woman with Red Hair and Wet Weekend.
4797 Ako, provisional designation 1989 SJ, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 6 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by the Japanese astronomers Toshiro Nomura and Kōyō Kawanishi at the Minami-Oda Observatory, Japan, on 30 September 1989.
The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.0–2.9 AU once every 3 years and 9 months (1,369 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.18 and is tilted by 2 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 4.1 hours and an albedo of 0.11, according to the U.S. Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer survey with its subsequent NEOWISE mission. However, the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes a higher albedo of 0.21, which is typical for a stony asteroid with a S-type spectrum. As a consequence, CALL calculates that the asteroid measures only 4 kilometers in diameter, as the higher the body's albedo (reflectivity), the lower its diameter for a given absolute magnitude (brightness).
