About Helaena
One of several names from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and it's television spin-off, House of the Dragon that have begun to catch on in recent years. Visually similar to classic Helena, this literary creation like Arya before it, doesn't feel too fantastical for a grounded baby.
Given to 19 girls in 2024, its usage had nearly doubled since the year prior.
Pronounced huh-LAY-nuh.
As of October 2026, Helaena ranked #4489 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA.
