Leina is a feminine name of mixed origin with universally pleasing connotations. As a variation of Lena, Leina adopts its root in the Ancient Greek Helenē, meaning "torch" or ray of light." Igniting images of sunshine, it seems fitting that Leina's Arabic origins should endow the name with the meaning "palm tree." Alternatively, Leina may find a home in Selene—from the Greek selas, meaning "brightness" or "gleam"—forever aligning them with the goddess of the "moon." No matter the origin, Leina can look forward to a life of ease and flow and all such wonders a radiant soul deserves.
