Shining light or bright one
Eleany is a modern elaboration of the name Elena or Elaine, which both derive from the Greek name Helene. It carries the same association with brightness and radiance, often interpreted as a 'shining light'. While rare, it follows the popular trend of adding a 'y' suffix to classic roots to create a softer, more contemporary sound.
