The name Helena is a deeply classical, feminine designation, originating from the ancient Greek name Helénē, often interpreted to mean “shining light.” In the USA, the name holds a distinguished history of use, maintaining relevance as a sophisticated, international choice. It projects an elegant and noble mood, suggesting a personality that is both refined and strong.
