Elenah is Greek, Slavic in Origin.

Elenah is a modern spelling derived from Elena, itself the pan-European form of Greek Helene (Latin Helena). The root likely meant “torch” or “shining light,” giving the name its enduring sense of radiance and illumination. The added final -h mirrors English stylistic patterns seen in Norah or Sarah and signals the open “-ah” ending without changing pronunciation (eh-LEH-na or eh-LAY-na, regionally).

The Helen/Helena family spread widely through antiquity and Christendom - Helen of Troy in myth and Saint Helena in late Roman history sustained its prestige - yielding forms such as Helena, Eleni (Greek), Elena (Spanish, Italian, Slavic), Yelena (Russian), Jelena (South Slavic), and Elene (Georgian), and Ileana/Iliana in Romance contexts. Related English offshoots include Ellen, Elaine, Eileen, and Eleanor, with pet forms Ellie, Lena, Nell, and Leni. Elenah fits contemporary taste for familiar classics with a distinctive twist.
