Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ileana je najčastejšie vykladaná ako rumunský variant mena Elena, ktoré pokračuje v starogréckom mene Helénē. Samotná etymológia gréckeho mena nie je istá; tradične sa spája s výrazmi označujúcimi pochodeň, jas alebo svetlo, prípadne s gréckym slovom selēnē vo význame „mesiac“.
