Eleni

Eleni is the Modern Greek form of Helen, derived from the ancient Greek name Helene, whose root meaning is uncertain but may relate to the Greek word for torch or to Selene, the moon goddess. The name is closely associated with Helen of Troy, the legendary Spartan queen whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War according to Greek mythology. It remains a common given name throughout Greece and Cyprus today. Related forms include Helena, Elena, and Ellen.
