Elaina

Elaina is a variant of the Greek name Helene, derived from the ancient Greek element helene, which may relate to the word for torch or to Helene, a figure in Greek mythology famously associated with the Trojan War. The name passed through Latin as Helena and spread widely across medieval Europe, giving rise to numerous forms including Ellen, Elena, and Eleanor. Elaina represents a modern English elaboration of Elena, combining the traditional root with a softened feminine suffix popular in contemporary naming.
