Torch or shining light
Halena is a rare variant of Helena, which is derived from the Greek name Helene. It shares the same etymological root meaning 'torch' or 'coruscating light,' often associated with beauty and brilliance in classical mythology. While less common than Helena or Selena, it offers a unique phonetic twist on a timeless classic.
