Ellene

Ellene is a feminine given name and, less commonly, a surname. In English-language records it appears sporadically and is considered relatively rare in modern usage.

Ellene is typically viewed as a variant of Ellen or Helen, or as a phonetic development from Helene. The spelling with the -ene ending creates a distinct form while sharing its roots with those related names. Related variants include Ellena and Elena, among others.

The name has appeared in 19th- and 20th-century American birth records and in genealogical databases, but it has not been widely adopted in contemporary naming trends.

There are no widely recognized figures whose given name is Ellene; individuals with this spelling generally appear in local or genealogical contexts rather than in broad public life.

Related names include Ellen, Helen, Helene, Ellena, and Elena.
