Seleina

The name Seleina is of Greek origin and it means "moon" or "half-moon". It is a variant spelling of the name Selene, which is the Greek goddess of the moon. According to Greek mythology, Selene was born from the blood of Uranus (the sky) after he was castrated by his son Cronus. She fell in love with Endymion and became pregnant with their daughter, Phoebe. The name Seleina has not been very common throughout history, but it has been used occasionally as a given name for females. It is not clear when the name first began to be used, but it may have originated as a medieval variant of Selene. Today, Seleina remains relatively rare as a given name, but it can still be found among people of Greek descent or those with an interest in Greek mythology and culture. Some famous individuals named Seleina include Seleina Teague, a Canadian singer-songwriter, and Seleina Powell, a Jamaican track and field athlete.
