Radiant and ravishing, Elane is a girl’s name of Greek origin, meaning “sun ray.” Derived from the Greek expression ēlē for “light,” Elane, like its French variant Elaine, is a name that shines and shimmers with brilliant fortunes of baby’s future. If you live for Greek legend, you’ll also love Elane for its similarity in sound and significance to the all-heroic Helen of Troy, whose beguiling beauty brought warriors to their knees. And although Elane may show itself short of the Old French “I,” its special spelling makes it one-in-a-hundred in all hearts!
