Meaning and history
Shelena is a modern feminine name whose formation is not completely certain. It may blend or vary Sheila, Selena, and Helena, names with different origins: Sheila is an Irish form of Cecilia, Selena relates to the Greek moon goddess Selene, and Helena has an uncertain Greek etymology. Family usage therefore determines the intended source. Because the spelling can arise through several modern naming patterns, claims of one ancient translation are unreliable. Prominent exact-name bearers are limited.
