About the name Eleni
Eleni belongs to the Greek tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Eleni first appears in Social Security records in 1946. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1003 in 2024, and in 2024 255 babies received the name — 6,579 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
