The Elephant is one of the most austere revered animals in both Hinduism and Buddhism

Ganesha is the Elephant-headed god worshipped in Hinduism and is known as Vināyaka in Mahayana Buddhism, it is said that he resides in the Muladhara, the First Chakra:

The Chakra’s color is red, which is the color of Shakti, Shakti means energy, movement, awakening and development, Ganesha holds, supports and guides all other chakras, thereby "governing the forces that propel the wheel of life"

Perhaps Evening/Night symbolizes the death of the person and the Elephant symbolizes the totality of the strength and energy of that person in his final moments, hence the name "Evening Elephant"

Actually, a dragon would make more sense.

Very interesting find. I think Evening Elephant doesn't sound too bad as a name in general.

He could have used any animals name there and we could have brought up a long, and no doubt meaningful, history on that animal and why some sort of country associated it with something.

Wishful thinking.

Can i just ask where you get all of this information from?

And even though this seems way more plausible because there is actual proof of it, a phoenix or dragon move would seem way cooler.
