Elenna is of Greek origin and means "torch". It is derived from the Greek word 'elaunos', which translates to torch or flash of lightning. This name has a strong, powerful connotation, suggesting brightness, light, and swiftness. In Greek mythology, Elenos was an ancient town in Phrygia known for its sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Leto and her twins Apollo (the god of light) and Artemis (goddess of the moon). Therefore, the name Elenna could also be associated with divine luminescence and celestial bodies.
"Elenna experienced a significant increase in popularity from the late 90s to the mid-2000s, peaking in 2004 with 15 births. After a dip around 2010, it gained momentum again, reaching an all-time high of 28 births in 2017 and maintaining over 20 births annually until 2023."
