A female given name of Greek origin meaning 'light', also referring to several rivers including one in Siberia.
From Greek 'Helena' or 'Helene', ultimately derived from 'helene' meaning 'torch' or 'light'. As a river name, it comes from various indigenous languages, particularly the Evenk name for the Lena River in Russia.
The Lena River in Siberia is one of the longest rivers in the world, flowing over 2,700 miles through some of Earth's most remote wilderness. The name coincidentally shares roots with the Greek word for light, making it poetic that this northern river brings life to such a vast, dark landscape.
