Bright, shining light
Elaena is a variant of the Greek name Helen, meaning 'torch' or 'shining light.' While it shares roots with the more common Elena, this specific spelling has gained niche popularity through modern fantasy literature. It combines the classic elegance of ancient Greek names with a contemporary, ethereal feel.
