Elain Forename Definition:
(rare), ELAINE. A variant of Ellen and Eileen, i. e. of Helen, of which Elaine (probably influenced by French Hélène) is the most mellifluous variation. Now considered, rather gratuitously, as ‘pretty but Victorian’, it has gained a wistful charm from Tennyson’s idyll, Lancelot and Elaine, discreet, somewhat namby-pamby, yet of a heart-touching beauty.
