Helaina is a girl's name of Greek origin, meaning "shining light" or "sunray." It draws from the illuminating beauty of Helen, as in the mythological belle of Troy. The story tells of the daughter of Zeus and her abduction by Paris, a prince of Troy. While Helen's dear husband, Menelaus, eventually saved her, their actions led to the legendary Trojan War. Helaina's modern spelling brings new life to a classic and sophisticated name. Your little star will harness the power of the sun, the grace of the sky, and a little fire in their heart as well!
