Green; moon
In Slavic languages, the name is derived from the word for the color green, symbolizing life and nature. It is also associated with the Greek name Selena, meaning moon, which has led to its use as a celestial and ethereal choice. The name gained some modern recognition through popular culture but remains rare in the United States.
