See zilonis on Wiktionary

Noun [Latvian]

IPA: [ziluònis] Audio: Lv-zilonis.ogg
Etymology: Borrowed from Russian слон (slon) (itself probably a borrowing from Turkic), made into a 2nd-declension masculine noun (ending -is); the initial z apparently results from the influence of zils (“blue”). This word is first mentioned (as a 1st-declension masculine noun, zilons) in 19th-century dictionaries. It replaced previous borrowings like elevants, elefants, still in use well into the 19th century.
