Elina

Elina is a girl's baby name of Finnish origin, the Finnish and Scandinavian form of Helen, derived from the Greek Helene, meaning "torch" or "shining light." It is particularly beloved in Finland, where it has ranked among the top names for decades.

In the United States, Elina appeals to parents seeking an elegant, slightly unusual alternative to Elena or Elina. Its crisp two-syllable sound and luminous meaning give it a clean, Nordic freshness.
