Elena

Though it's a fresh interpretation of Helen, the feminine name Elena has its very own spotlight shining on it. This moniker is well-loved in countries throughout the world, but its roots ultimately lie in the Greek elements helene and selene. Meaning "torch," "radiant," "corposant," or "moon," Elena will remind your little one just how illuminating a kind word or an hour spent outdoors can be.

Standing in the daylight became a little complicated for Elena Gilbert, the protagonist of the popular TV series The Vampire Diaries, and one of the most famous fictional bearers of this name. Luckily, a certain daylight ring gave Elena and the other vampire residents of Mystic Falls the ability to step out in the sun! There are several The Vampire Diaries and Elena fans in The Bump community, including cwie828, who says, "I totally watch that show. I'm a little in love with Damon, but that's another story! I absolutely love Elena, I think it's so classic and beautiful."
