Heleen

Heleen is a Dutch and Flemish form of Helen, derived from the ancient Greek name Helene, which is most plausibly connected to the Greek word helene meaning torch or corposant, though some scholars link it to Hellenes, the ancestral name of the Greek people. The name is borne most famously in Greek mythology by Helen of Troy, whose legendary beauty was said to have sparked the Trojan War. In Christian tradition the name gained widespread use through Saint Helena, the fourth-century Roman empress and mother of Constantine the Great. Related forms include Helena, Elena, Elaine, and Ellen.
