Leena is a feminine given name with multiple independent origins. In Finnish and Estonian use it arose as a short form of Helena, itself derived from the Greek Helene, whose root is debated but often connected to the Greek word for torch or light. In Arabic-influenced naming traditions it is sometimes treated as a variant of Lina, from a root meaning tender or delicate. Related forms include Lena, Lina, Helena, and Elena.
