Leena

Leena is a feminine given name with several independent origins. In Finnish and Estonian use it functions as a short form of Helena, itself derived from the ancient Greek Helene, whose root is debated but often linked to the Greek word for torch or the name of the sun. In Arabic-influenced cultures, Leena (also spelled Lina or Lena) connects to an Arabic root meaning tender or delicate, sometimes associated with a young palm tree. Related forms include Lena, Lina, Helena, and Elena.
