ELLEN. A
Scottish
form of Greek Helene
(q.v.), meaning "light." (History of
Christian Names, Yonge, 1884). But see note below. Usage: America,
Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Also see Ellin.
... Some consider this the same as Helen,
and indeed in Spanish Helen and Ellen are both represented by Elena.
A correspondent of N. Q. says the name Ellen has no possible
connexion with Helen, which is older by a thousand years at least, and
that Ellen is the feminine of Alain,
Alan, or Allan.
But it may be the same as Ailean.
(Praenomina, Charnock, 1882)
