    There are definitely Slavic surnames that sound like this. Not Polish so much though.

    dont think so, give me a example if you can. im sure it sounds much more scandinavian or finnish.

    His name doesn't sound Slavic to me, but since you asked, here's a surname that also ends in -in: Polzin

    this still sounds different to me, i would focus on the z too that it ends in zin, but his doesnt. polzin sounds slavic though. eldralin sounds finnish or scandinavian. and it indeed sounds like elves, thats another reason why it sounds scandinavian or finnish since elves are from that part of the world.

    Honestly it kinda sounds like a pharmaceutical to me.

    But if I had to guess ethnicity, I'd probably guess maybe Eastern European, French, or Turkish.

    Philippine would not be my first guess.
