Elene is Georgian in Origin.
Elene is a Georgian and Basque form of the pan-European Helen/Helena, ultimately from Ancient Greek Helene (Ελένη). The etymology is often linked to helene, “torch” or “corposant” (St. Elmo’s fire), yielding the sense “bright, shining one”; some connect it with selene, “moon,” though this is less secure. The mythic Helen of Troy and the Christian Empress Saint Helena anchored the name early in the Mediterranean world.
The spelling Elene is well attested in Georgia and appears in medieval English - see Cynewulf’s poem Elene - while Catholic tradition helped maintain it in Basque usage. Variants and cognates include Helen, Hélène, Helena, Elena, Eleni, Ellen, Elaine, Elaina, and Welsh Elen; diminutives and short forms include Lena, Leni, Ela, and Ellie. Overall meaning centers on light and radiance: “torchbearer,” “shining one,” or simply “bright.”
