Popular name derived from the root ele (light, torch, bright). Helene is the name borne in Greek legend by the beautiful wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. Her ab-ducuion by the Trojan prince Paris sparked off the Trojan War. The name became popular throughout the Christian world due to the fame of St. Helena (248-327), the mother of Constantine the Great. Her influence led to the toleration of Christianity and she is credited with finding the True Cross buried in a hillock close to Calvary |
