Elleni

Elleni is a feminine given name that appears in Greek-speaking communities and among people of Greek heritage. It is a variant spelling of Eleni, the Greek form of Helen, and is sometimes used in transliterations of Ελένη in non-Greek languages. The name is deeply rooted in classical and literary associations tied to Helen of Troy, though its exact ancient meaning is not consistently fixed and is often treated as traditional.

Usage and distribution: Elleni is less common than Eleni in Greece and Cyprus but occurs in diaspora communities in Europe, North America, and Africa where Greek names are used. The spelling with double 'l' reflects transliteration practices in some languages or personal preference, and may be found alongside other forms such as Eleni or Elena.

Notable bearers: Because Elleni is a relatively rare variant, there are no widely recognized figures whose primary identification is the name Elleni in major reference works. The form remains principally found in personal naming.

Related names include Eleni, Elena, and Helen.
