Elouan is, for all intents and purposes, the heir of the Lady of the Lake.

However he's also her newest incarnation in the long line of his family. Which may make little sense considering he's, well, not a Faerie queen or anything like that but it's a similar situation to Castoria and Morgan in Faerie Britain. Faeries are born for a specific purpose. If they do not fulfill that purpose upon death, then they are eventually reborn over and over until they do.

And the Lady of the Lake's purpose was to safeguard Excalibur and its chosen wielder.

Viviane failed originally, at least partially.

She could not protect King Arthur and, while Excalibur was returned, that stuck with her. Even as she placed the final seals upon Avalon and the Tower sealing Merlin at the cost of her life, it remained with her. And so with her purpose unfulfilled, with that failure haunting her, the Lady of the Lake was set upon the path of being reborn over and over.

Of course, how does one do that when the Faeries were fading from the world and True Magic was just about gone with the fall of Camelot?

Simple.

There's a human family upon who she granted her blood to empower them, who share the same duty as her. So her soul would be forever reappearing in members of the family at different points in time.

Eventually coming to Elouan.

Though it's important to remember that he has none of her memories, none of her personality. And, until he fully develops, next to none of her powers. All they share are somewhat similar appearances.

...Elouan personally thinks it's all a massive pain in the ass.
