What does Elena mean?

This pretty and exotic girl’s name is of Spanish, Italian and Greek origins. It means bright, shining light which is such a perfect choice for your little star!

Elena is a popular name in the US, where it has been in the top 100 girl’s names since 2016. That surge in popularity could in part be down to the hit US TV show The Vampire Diaries – whose heroine was called Elena.

It’s also not a rare name in the UK, although it’s less common and is not in the top 100 girl names (it comes in at number 152 for the latest data).

Elena is a variation on the name Helena, and is also similar to vintage names such as Eleanor and Ellen, making it a lovely modern version of an old-fashioned classic.

However Elena can also work well with longer names that are soft sounding, such as Elena Charlotte, Elena Genevieve, Elena Isabelle and Elena Jasmine.

Tips for choosing a middle name

Try these tips for picking a baby name if you’re struggling to finalise your choice.

Look out for names everywhere

Whether you’re in a shop, reading a book or magazine, or watching TV, you can find inspiration for a baby name anywhere.

Pay attention to possible names, and have somewhere you can make a note of names that stand out to you – such as a Notes document on your phone.

This sort of open-mindedness can help you find a type of name you love – for example you hear the name Catherine and think you might like a name similar to that, then you can search for names along those lines.

Consider names with meaning

A middle name is often a tribute to a loved one. It can also be a chance to bring in something else of meaning to you, such as a place – maybe you have a fondness for visits to Paris – or a sentiment, such as Hope.

Remember that your baby’s name doesn’t have to have particular meaning, but it can be a useful place to find ideas.

Decide on your style

When discussing baby names it can really help to find trends and styles you both love.

This is where you can find common ground with individual names – as while you may not like one specific name you both may love one that is closely related or similar to it.
