More Greek names

Lena

Lena is a short form of Helena or Magdalena, ultimately deriving from the Greek "Helene", whose etymology is debated but often connected to "helios" (sun) or "selene" (moon), or to a root meaning "torch" or "bright". As a standalone name it gained popularity across Scandinavia, Germany, and Russia in the 19th and 20th centuries, and is now used independently throughout the world.

Genesis

From the Greek Genesis, meaning "origin," "beginning," or "creation" — from gignesthai, "to be born" or "to come into being." Genesis is the title of the first book of the Bible, the book of beginnings, from the Hebrew Bereshit ("in the beginning"). As a feminine given name, Genesis has been used in the United States since the late 20th century, particularly in Hispanic-American communities, and carries strong associations with new starts and creative potential.

Lenna

A short form or variant of Helena, Eleanor, or Magdalena — all ultimately from the Greek. Through Helena it connects to the Greek helenos ("bright one") or helios ("sun"); through Eleanor to the Occitan Alienor (possibly from the Arabic or from the Old Provençal ali-aenor, "the other Aenor"); through Magdalena to the place name Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee meaning "tower." Lenna may also be a Scandinavian name in its own right, a feminine form of Lenn or a variant of Lena.

Nikolaus

Nikolaus is the German form of Nicholas, from the Greek "Nikolaos", composed of "nikē" meaning "victory" and "laos" meaning "people". It thus means "victory of the people". Saint Nicholas of Myra (4th century AD) was a Christian bishop renowned for his generosity, and his legend evolved into the Santa Claus tradition in Germanic and Dutch cultures, where Nikolaus remains the primary name for the gift-giving figure.

Helena

The Latin form of Helen, derived from the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or connected to helios, "sun." In Greek mythology Helena was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name was further popularised by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, who was credited with finding the True Cross.

Andrew

From the Greek Andreas, derived from aner/andros meaning "man" or "manly." It entered English via the Old French Andreu and Latin Andreas, and owes much of its lasting popularity to Saint Andrew, apostle of Christ and patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. The name has been in continuous English use since medieval times.
