Ileinah is in Origin.

Ileinah is a rare modern feminine name, likely a creative blend of Elaina/Elena and Ilana, with phonetic influence from Alaina. Through Elena, it connects to Greek Helene, traditionally interpreted as “torch” or “light,” while Ilana is Hebrew for “tree.” The -ei- and -nah endings reflect contemporary English-language respellings that soften classic forms while keeping their recognizable sounds and meanings.

Usage appears chiefly in late 20th–21st century English-speaking contexts, with no established historical bearer or saintly tradition. Variant spellings and close cousins include Ilaina, Ileina, Ilenah, Elaina, and Alaina; related forms abroad include Ilenia (Italian) from the Helen family. Possible nicknames are Ila, Lei, Lina, Lena, and Ina. As a modern hybrid, its meaning is often taken from its sources - “light” via Elena/Helene or “tree” via Ilana - offering a nature-tinged, luminous choice.
