Ellena

Ellena is an English variant of Elena, itself a form of the ancient Greek name Helene, derived from the root meaning torch or bright light, though some scholars connect it to the Greek word for Greece, Hellas. The name gained widespread use across Europe largely through the legend of Helen of Troy and the veneration of Saint Helena, mother of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Ellena sits alongside other spelling variants such as Elena, Ellen, Eleanor, and Helena.
