Elin

Elin is a Scandinavian and Welsh form of Helen, ultimately derived from the Greek name Helene, whose root meaning is debated but is often connected to the Greek word for torch or sun, or alternatively to Selene, the moon goddess. The name spread widely through medieval Europe owing to the fame of Saint Helena, mother of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great, as well as the legendary Helen of Troy. The Icelandic form is spelled Elín, and the name is also closely related to Elena, Ellen, and Eleanor across various European traditions.
