Elayne
Meaning of Elayne
Elayne is a graceful feminine name of Old French origin, ultimately rooted in the ancient Greek Helenē, whose meaning of “light” or “torch” evokes the soft glow of a Diya at dusk. In Arthurian romance she appears as a gentle heroine whose quiet strength feels as comforting as the first monsoon breeze across a lotus-studded pond. Pronounced el-LAYN, Elayne carries both old-world elegance and a modern freshness—charting around #908 in the U.S. in 2024 with forty-two newborns, so it won’t steamroll the bestseller lists, yet it won’t leave your little one alone at recess, either. Its syllables drift like sandalwood incense through a dawn-lit veranda, promising warmth, resilience and just a touch of poetic sparkle for the child who bears it.
