Alene

Alene is an English feminine name that most likely developed as a variant spelling of Alene's closest relatives, Aleen and Aileen, themselves anglicized forms of the Irish name Eibhlín, which is ultimately derived from Aveline or possibly from Helen, a name rooted in the Greek element meaning torch or bright one. The spelling with the distinctive single vowel opening reflects the tendency in English to simplify or adapt Gaelic-influenced names for broader use. Related forms include Eileen, Aileen, Aline, and Alina.
