Eleni

Eleni is a Greek feminine name derived from the Greek word 'helene', which means 'bright' or 'shining one'. It is the Greek form of the name Helen.

In Greek mythology, Helen was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose beauty was so great that it sparked the Trojan War. Her abduction by Paris, a Trojan prince, led to the epic conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans.

The name Eleni has been popular in Greece for centuries and is a treasured part of Greek culture and tradition.

In modern times, Eleni is a widely used name across the Greek diaspora and is also popular in other parts of the world, particularly among those with Greek heritage or connections.
