Shelena
Meaning of Shelena
Shelena, pronounced shuh-LEE-nuh (/ʃəˈliːnə/), is a feminine name rooted in the Greek moon goddess Selene and filtered through the Latinized Selena. Emerging as a distinctive variant within U.S. Latin-American communities, it saw peak usage in the late 1970s and early 1980s—averaging over twenty annual births and ranking in the mid-700s on Social Security charts; by 1999, occurrences had fallen below ten per year, placing it in the 800s. Its celestial heritage and echoes of Tejano icon Selena Quintanilla-Pérez lend Shelena a balanced blend of classical resonance and contemporary Latin flair.
