Eilena
e(i)-le-na
Origin:British
Meaning:Torch; Moon; Radiance, beauty; Desired; Hazelnut
If baby’s light seems to come from within, celebrate by naming them Eliena. A feminine title, Eilena is a variant of Eileen, the Anglicized form of the Irish name Eibhlín. While all of these monikers share the same meanings, their roots are up for debate! Eilena could derive from the Greek Helen, which translates to “torch” or “moon.” Other sources link Eilena to the Old Irish element óiph, meaning “radiance” or “beauty.” If you covet baby’s joy and optimism, you’ll love their name’s German translation of “desired.” Eilena could also mean “hazelnut,” so perhaps your little one will shine brightest when exploring the natural world.
