How uninspiring! ;) I'm a native French speaker and yes, if you slap these two word together, that's what you get, but the site is in English and this derivation, if it is the intent of its author, is pretty sad. There are other translation of "élan", but none make for a better project name, because the prefix, "without", negates any positive meaning!
