HELENA.
Latin form of Greek Helene
(q.v.), meaning "light." The name appears in Arthurian legend, as the
niece of Hoel,
Duke of Brittany. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884). Usage: America, Denmark, England,
France (Heléna), Holland, Ireland, Italy,
Latin, Poland, Spain.
Helena, St., or Flavia
Julia Helena Augusta, first wife of Constantius Chlorus, and mother of
Constantine the Great, born about A.D. 248, died about 327. The
statement of Eusebius that Constantine paid his mother great honours,
and caused her to be proclaimed Augusta to all the troops, and struck
her image on gold coins, is no doubt generally correct, but it is
unfortunately unaccompanied with any dates (Vita Const. iii.
47). Silver and copper coins are found with the name Flavia
Helena Augusta, struck in her lifetime. (A Dictionary of
Christian Biography, Literature, &c., Smith, 1880)
