Solena is a rare but slowly emerging name in the United States, first recorded in 1994. It reached its peak popularity in 2025, ranking 6,116 with an incidence of 1 in 84,593 births. The name has been on a steady upward trajectory since 2013, reflecting a growing interest in sun-inspired names. While not yet widespread, its Latin roots and melodic sound appeal to parents seeking a distinctive nature name.
Solena is derived from the Latin 'sol' (sun), likely as a feminine elaboration of the Spanish or Italian word for sun, 'sol'. It may also be related to the name Solana, meaning 'sunshine'. While not common historically, it has seen occasional use in Spanish-speaking countries and more recently in the United States.
