Origin

History & Etymology
Sélénia is a beautiful and evocative name derived from the Greek word 'Selene' (Σελήνη), meaning 'moon'. In Greek mythology, Selene was the Titan goddess of the moon, often depicted as a beautiful woman riding a silver chariot across the night sky. She was associated with purity, light, and the cycles of nature.
The name Sélénia, with its accent, is a more modern and perhaps romanticized form, often found in French-speaking cultures or as a literary creation. It carries the ancient mythological weight of Selene while offering a slightly softer, more lyrical sound. Its usage is relatively rare, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with celestial connections and a touch of elegance.
