Eléna Origin and Meaning
Eléna is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Elena or Helena, which derive from Greek origins meaning "bright," "shining light," or "torch." The addition of the accent mark gives this version a distinctive French or Spanish flair, emphasizing the second syllable (eh-LAY-na). While Elena is popular across many European countries, particularly in Russia, Italy, Spain, and Greece, this accented variation is less common, offering a touch of uniqueness while maintaining the name's classic roots. Eléna combines traditional elegance with subtle distinctiveness through its spelling. The name has a flowing, melodic quality with its three syllables and vowel-rich pronunciation. Parents might choose this spelling to honor multicultural heritage or simply to add a distinctive touch to a beloved classic name.
