It depends, are you talking about permanent elves or contractors? During the year his Automated Toy Manufacturing plant (ATM) at the north pole only required 36 full time elves to run the daily operations, however starting in October seasonal hiring begins.
Last year at the peak of the season there were 221 elves working at the ATM and Warehouse, 537 Customer Care Representatives working at the north pole as well as their offshore call center in the Dominican Republic, and an additional 49 elves in upper management. This also does not account for the 40+ IT and helpdesk elves living in India and Serbia.
So what is that about 847 elves?
No one knows how many elves Santa has, though it is safe to assume that he has thousands.
Actually I think they are really Gnomes, but due to labour laws he calls them elves.

Santa has too many elvies to count! I think around 200-800.
Well not always. See, elves are native to the North Pole and when Santa first got there with Ms. Claus, they were met with hostility as you might imagine. Santa set up a humble little gingerbread house with Ms Claus and for two winters they lived alone. The elves took offense to their encroaching and launched a full frontal assault on Santa's gingerbread house. Together with Ms. Claus, Santa defeated many of the elves. The elves having suffered such casualties, surrendered to Santa and Santa being as nice as he was offered the elves the opportunity to work for him making toys for all the good girls and boys of the world.
One, because there is only one more seat in the sleigh!

If you mean elves as in Santa's elves then there are to many to find out the names of ALL of them.
