Helena
Greek · “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.”
Lena
Greek · “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.”

Tiffany
“An English form of Theophania, from the Greek theos ("God") and phainein ("to appear" or "to show"), meaning "manifestation of God" or "Epiphany." The name was traditionally given to girls born on the Feast of Epiphany (January 6). It fell almost entirely out of use after the medieval period and was revived in the 20th century in America, becoming enormously popular in the 1980s, partly through cultural association with the luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co.”
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.”
Damion
“Damion is a masculine name, a variant of Damian, derived from the Greek Damianos, possibly from the Greek daman meaning "to tame" or "to subdue," or from the name of the Greek goddess Damia. Saint Damian was a third-century physician martyr venerated alongside his twin Saint Cosmas, whose cult spread throughout the Christian world.”
Helen
“From the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or "the shining one," possibly connected to helios ("sun") or selene ("moon"). In Greek mythology Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in the world, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name entered English through the Latin Elena and Helena, and has been in widespread use since the medieval period, sustained by both classical and Christian (Saint Helena) associations.”
Meda
“Meda is a short form of names such as Medea, Almeda, or Remedia. Medea derives from the Greek, connected to the sorceress Medea of Colchis in Greek mythology, whose name relates to "medesthai" (to ponder, to plan). As a given name Meda has been used in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe as a simplified variant, as well as in some Native American communities. It also appears in the Germanic tradition as a pet form of Mechthild.”
Philip
“Philip is a masculine name derived from the Greek Philippos, composed of philein (to love) and hippos (horse) — meaning "lover of horses." It was the name of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, and one of Christ's twelve apostles. The name has been used across all European cultures since antiquity, including in Slavic countries.”
