Russian variant of Elena.

The name comes from either Greek 'helene' - 'torch' or 'corposant', or Greek 'selene' – 'moon'. In Greek mythology Helen was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose kidnapping by Paris was the cause of the Trojan War.

Emotional spectrum: a smile gives Elena more face value. She will be very generous to her lover once she has attained a commitment. Her gifts are actually an investment in her partner. She is a sensual and patient lover.
