Maiju-Elina is Finnish in Origin.
Maiju-Elina is a Finnish hyphenated given name blending Maiju, a Finnish diminutive related to Maija/Maja and ultimately to Maria, with Elina, the Finnish form of Helena. Maiju traces back to the Hebrew Miryam through its Nordic pet forms and is commonly interpreted as "beloved" or "wished-for child." Elina comes from Greek Helene, associated with helene "torch" and thus "light" or "bright." Together, the name suggests the poetic meaning "beloved light."
Double given names linked by a hyphen have been fashionable in Finland since the early to mid-20th century, and Maiju-Elina fits that modern yet traditional pattern. Variants and near-equivalents include Maiju Elina (unhyphenated), Maija-Elina, Maja-Elina, Maria-Elina, and Elina-Maiju; related international forms include Maja-Helena or Maria-Helena. Diminutives or short forms may be Mai, Juju, Maikki, and Elli. Usage is strongest in Finland and among Finnish diaspora, with occasional appearance across the Nordic region.
