Galena

Meaning of Galena

Galena is a bright, unexpected choice for a baby girl—rooted in the ancient Greek word galene, meaning calm or tranquility, and named after a silvery mineral that shines with hidden strength deep within the earth. In Spanish it dances off the tongue as gah-LEH-nah, while in English it hums gently as guh-LEE-nuh. Like the Ganges at dawn, Galena carries soothing grace and playful energy. It feels rare enough to be a treasure but familiar enough to roll out with a friendly melody. Each little Galena writes a story of quiet power and natural beauty, as soft as temple bells and as bold as the first monsoon sky.
