  2. Eleni is the beautiful Greek version of the name Helen, Elena, etc.. The origin of the name means torch or torchbearer. The saint who makes this name famous is widely celebrated in the Greek Orthodox tradition. She was the mother of emperor Constantine the great (who Istanbul -Constantinople) is named after. In local tradition, she is the person who found the cross Jesus Christ was crucified 400 years after his death.

    I chose this name for our girl because it is a family name and traditional to name our children after their grandparents.

  3. My baby girl is named after her Greek yiayia (grandma) to honor her.
