Wilena is a unique and uncommon feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name "Vilena," which was likely adapted from the Germanic elements "wil" meaning "will" or "desire," and "haim" signifying "home." The name Wilena is not often found in popular baby name lists, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their daughter. It is not widely recognized as a traditional saint's name or associated with any well-known historical figures, further contributing to its rarity and exclusivity. Wilena does not appear to have any related or alternate spellings that are commonly used. In terms of its popularity, the name Wilena has not ranked among the top 1000 baby girl names in recent years in the United States, according to data from the Social Security Administration.
Wilena was a popular name for girls born between 1918 and 1949, with peaks in the years 1918, 1924, 1926, and 1949. The name seemed to lose popularity after the 1950s, as there were no recorded births with this name between 1949 and 1967 except for one in 1967. Overall, Wilena was given to 68 newborn girls during these years.
