No, that would be 'ee-lahn'. In the strictest sense. Seeing as it's an A and not an I.
Of course, there are no hard rules for pronounciations in normal English--you have to use phonetic symbols for that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with 'ee-lin'.

English words rarely have accents. In fact, I can't think of any.
