Salene is Greek in Origin.

Salene is a modern feminine name likely fashioned as a variant of Selene, the Greek moon goddess (Σελήνη), whose name means “moon.” In contemporary usage it also blends with the French Celine/Céline, ultimately from Latin Caelina and caelum, “heaven, sky,” and with English spellings such as Selena, Selina, Salena, and Salina. Because of these intertwined lines, Salene carries layered celestial senses - moonlight and the heavens - while remaining rarer than its better-known cousins.

The name appears sporadically in 20th- and 21st-century records in English-speaking countries, gaining modest visibility alongside the broader revival of mythological and space-inspired names and the popularity of Selena. Variants and related forms include Selene, Selena, Selina, Celine/Céline, Salena, Salina, and the modern spelling Saleen. Salene is typically interpreted to mean “moon” or “heavenly,” with concise nicknames like Sal, Lene, or Lena offering flexible everyday use.
