Climena is Greek in Origin.

Climena is a rare Romance and Latinate variant of Clymene (Ancient Greek Klymēnē), a name borne by multiple figures in Greek myth. It derives from the Greek root kly-/klut-, “to be heard of, renowned,” yielding the sense “famous” or “celebrated.” The spelling with i and final -a reflects later Romance adaptations of the classical form.

In antiquity, Clymene names include an Oceanid linked with Helios and mother of Phaethon in some traditions, and, in Hesiod, a consort of the Titan Iapetus. Humanist fascination with the classics aided a modest revival in Renaissance and eighteenth‑century Europe, especially in literary and operatic contexts, though the name never became common. Modern variants and cognates include Clymene, Klymene, Climene (Italian), Clímene (Portuguese), and Clymène (French); Climena remains very uncommon, with occasional use in Romance-speaking countries. Related short form: Mena.
