Ileyna is Slavic in Origin.

Ileyna is a modern feminine given name formed at the crossroads of several naming traditions. It most plausibly fuses the Elena/Ilena family (ultimately from Greek Helene, “torch, light”) with Arabic-influenced Leyna/Layna (linked to layyin/layna, “soft, gentle”). Because it follows contemporary phonetic trends - vowel-rich, liquid consonants, and the fashionable -eyna ending - its documented use is largely 21st century, with rare but growing adoption in diverse multicultural communities. The name does not appear in older records as a fixed form, reinforcing its status as a recent elaboration rather than a classical root name.

Variants and near-variants include Ilayna, Ileyna, Ilyena, Ileina, and the related forms Elena, Helena, Ileana/Iliana, Leyna/Leina, Leena, and Lina. Short forms often used are Lena, Leyna, Ila, or Ily. Interpretations commonly combine its source strands: “light” (via Helene) and “gentle, pliant” (via Arabic leyyna), yielding an appealing blended meaning such as “gentle light.”
