Offering a twist on a classic, Eleen is a feminine name of Greek origin. Etymologically descended from Helen, Eleen comes from the word helios, meaning “bright” or “the bright one.” Baby is sure to be a bright spark in your life, so this definition seems most apt. Alternatively, Eleen could be rooted in Norman-French, from Aveline, from the Germanic Avelina, with the possible meaning of “desired.” Eleen may also have origins in Old Irish as a form of Éibhleann, from óiph, meaning “beauty.” Not only will baby make your life even more brilliant, but they are sure to make it beautiful, too!
