Elene Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. the earlier English form of Helen (q.v.), now treated as an independent name. In medieval records Helen usually appears as Elen or Elena, Elene, Elin or Ellin, &c., and these forms, together with the diminutive Elot and Ellot, are found as late as the 17th C. Ellen gradually fell out of upper-class use, and Charlotte Mary Yonge, History of ChristianNames, 2 vols. 1863. Revised ed. 1884 seems to regard it as a Scotticism; but it survived among the poorer classes in England and had some revival of popularity in the later 19th C.
