Meaning: Of Elana; Tree; Of Elaine or Helen; Sun ray, shining light

Elanie is a girl's name of Hebrew, French, and Greek origin. While it's most likely a respelling of Elana, meaning "tree," it may also have roots in Elaine and Helen, meaning "sun ray" or "shining light." Together, they instill strength, warmth, and the wisdom to guide and inspire others. That's right; your darling Elanie will probably be a natural-born leader! If there's a tree-planting initiative or a fundraiser for a local garden, they'll be at the top of the list. Also, the lullaby "You Are My Sunshine" will blow their mind regardless of your singing voice.
