Marleena is a feminine name and a Finnish variant of Marlena or Marlene. This moniker's first three letters come from Mary, the English form of the Hebrew title Miryam. Translating to "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," "wished-for child," and "beloved," Marleena carries within it a reminder of all the people your little one can turn to for encouragement and guidance. The -leen in Marleena could be borrowed from the Greek Helene or the Hebrew Magdalene, so there are several definitions to consider. From "torch," "moon," and "radiant" to "of Magdala" and "tower," Marleena's other meanings could inspire your child to light up every room and strive for the greatest heights.
