Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Elenka je domácka zdrobnená podoba mena Elena, utvorená príponou -ka. Elena je variant mena Helena, ktoré vychádza z gréckeho Helénē (Ἑλένη). Odvodenie Elenky od Eleny je doložené; neistý je až pôvodný význam gréckeho mena. Výklad „pochodeň“ preto nemožno uvádzať ako jednoznačne dokázaný.
