Meaning & origin
Seleena is a modern English spelling variant of Selena, which traces back to the Greek moon goddess Selene. First recorded in U.S. data in 1980, the name has never entered the top 1000, reflecting its rarity. Its peak year of usage was 1995, after which usage has been stable but low. The name's appeal lies in its phonetic softness and celestial association, though it remains an uncommon choice. As a variant spelling, it offers a distinctive twist on more familiar forms like Selena.
Seleena is a modern English variant of Selena, which itself comes from the Greek Selene, the goddess of the moon. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since the 20th century, often as a creative respelling to add a unique touch.
