    The Story Behind Elénie

    Elénie is a variant of the Greek name Helen, which derives from the Greek word 'helene' meaning 'torch' or 'corposant' (St. Elmo's fire). The name has a long and rich history, associated with the legendary Helen of Troy, whose beauty was said to have sparked the Trojan War.
