Ileyni is a modern Spanish-influenced given name, most noted in the Hispanic Caribbean and northern South America. Its etymology is uncertain, but many view it as a creative relative of Elaine/Eileen/Eleni (ultimately from Greek Helene), adapted to Caribbean phonotactics with the -einy/-eyni ending. On that basis, Ileyni is associated with the Helen meaning “torch, light; shining one.” Pronunciation commonly approximates ee-LAY-nee in Spanish and English contexts.

Usage appears from the late 20th century onward, paralleling Dominican and Venezuelan trends for melodious, blended names, and it remains rare in official statistics outside those regions. Documented spellings and close variants include Ileiny, Ileini, Ileyne, Ilayni, and Yleiny; related forms are Leiny, Eleiny, and Yuleiny. Nicknames such as Iley, Leyni, and Ley occur in informal use.
