If you’re nutty for names with multiple meanings, well, Eilene is like a delicious trail mix. Typically given to girls, Eilene is a variation of Eileen. As an anglicized form of Eibhlín, an Irish version of Helen, and a diminutive of Aveline, there are a lot of ways to describe baby. Eibhlín is an Irish moniker with the meaning “radiance” and “beauty.” Deriving from Ancient Greek, Helen signifies “torch” or “shining light,” whereas, the roots of Aveline aren’t entirely certain, but it most likely means “desired.” Interestingly, Eilene also carries a link with “hazelnut.” Whether baby’s beautiful hazel eyes, their radiant personality, or the fact you’ve longed for their arrival inspire you to choose Eilene, it’s a dazzling choice.
