In French, Yves literally means "yew," though one could take that as referring to the Tree of Life. :) (I'd never caught the semi-Hebrew pun, though; clever!)

Elohim is the Hebrew common usage word for God (which makes playing In Nomine with Hebrew speakers really, really complicated)

It's also used in the Old Testament to refer to angels. (Psalm 8:5 "For thou hast made him (man) a little lower than the angels" uses elohim for the last word.) The word in general has connotations of strong ones or mighty ones, which is probably why it was used for a Choir also known as the Powers.

Djinn is an arabic elemental demon (I think.. I know it's Arabic, I know it's a spirit, but I don't remember if it is an elemental and/or a demon)

In the Qu'ran, the djinn are a non-angelic spirit made of "smokeless fire." The word means hidden or concealed.
