==Etymology==
Alon Shvut, literally "oak of return", is a reference to the return of the Jews expelled from Gush Etzion by the Jordanian Arab Legion in 1948 following the Kfar Etzion massacre. The 700-year-old Kermes Oak (Quercus calliprinos)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trips on the Trail of Trees )〕 is sacred to the Arabs with the name ''Ballutet el Yerzeh'' (oak of Yerzeh).〔 It was a central feature of Gush Etzion and became known as "lone oak". The town was constructed adjacent to the oak, which is considered a symbol of renewal and continuity. The oak is incorporated in the municipal emblem.〔
Yigal Allon, who sponsored the establishment of the town, claimed that the name was chosen in order to honour him.
